Wanting a singular packaging tool/vision

I’ll do a little pre-announcement here: I’m making a serious attempt at comprehensively describing the key problems scientific, ML/AI and other native-code-using folks have with PyPI, wheels and Python packaging. That as a standalone website (first release by the end of the year) which is kept up to date, aimed to serve as a reference, so we hopefully stop talking past each other. It will not have proposed solutions - this Discourse is the place for that. At most (for now) it some outgoing links to key PEPs and discussions around potential solutions to some of the issues.

Now available, xref Pypackaging-native: content about the state of using native code & Python packaging
