Python packaging "just works"

Python packaging is too complex

The existence of multiple tools is beneficial for the Python packaging ecosystem

I prefer to use several Python packaging tools, each one focusing on a specific task, rather than a single tool that performs all Python packaging tasks

I prefer to have a clearly defined "official" workflow that all projects are expected to follow, over allowing projects to choose their own workflow with tools that support different approaches

The official Python packaging documentation is clear and useful

Python packaging deals well with edge cases and/or unique project requirements

Python packaging is improving with time

Technical mentoring

Bug or contribution bounties - i.e. paying for contributions

More active project management - e.g. assigning tickets to contributors based on need/skill match

More recognition for contributors - e.g. stickers, swag, 'contributor of the month', references for job applications, etc.

Onboarding sessions - online or in person

Hackathons - online or in person

Community moderation (code of conduct, conflict resolution)

Creating more bandwidth for maintainers of key packaging tools, so they can be more responsive to newcomers

Active outreach to target groups. This could include university students, bootcamp participants, members of advocacy groups (e.g. PyLadies), local communities (e.g. Python Brasil), etc.

Response

Response

PyPI being translated into my native language is useful

PyPI being translated into my native language makes me feel more included in the Python community

I would feel more confident with Python packaging if more packaging documentation and tools were translated into my native language

I would feel more included in the Python community if more packaging documentation and tools were translated into my native language

Making Python packaging better serve common use cases and workflows

Serving a wider range of users (e.g. making packaging more friendly for beginners, or people speaking different languages)

Helping users to better understand Python packaging (e.g. better documentation, clearer output from tools)

Supporting a wider range of use cases (e.g. edge cases, etc.)

Other (please specify in next question)

I feel that this mission statement is meaningful

I agree with this mission statement

Be more welcoming to newcomers

Provide more technical help to newcomers

Support more interoperability between Python packaging tools

Support more interoperability between Python packaging and packaging tools for other languages
