Python Packaging Strategy Discussion - Part 1

I personally think that the SC’s “hands off” approach to packaging puts us in a bad place as soon as we get close to areas where the SC does have authority.

Fully agreed with that and everything below. I honestly don’t think the problems can be solved comprehensively without language level (read SC) involvement, but in any case, I think manageable changes in the distribution channels should not be off-limits in the context of this discussion.
