Hi, I was invited to give a talk at PyCon Colombia 2017, and I did it on packaging. I thought people here would be interested to know about it.
I insisted on the need for packaging to get software into as many hands as possible, gave a history of the packaging ecosystem, advised people to use packaging.python.org suggestions, and mentioned the manylinux effort. I tried to be as objective as possible there and mention the key people involved. I also talked a bit about what can still be improved, and focused on 3 aspects, none of which are new nor particularly insightful for people here: infrastructure for automatic wheel building, better decoupling of packaging and build, and maybe more controversially, the need for tools to remove python from the equation. https://speakerdeck.com/cournape/python-packaging-in-2017 David
