Amen to that, but who will pay for it? I imagine a great deal of
processing power would be required for this.
How do implementors of other languages handle this?
I talked with someone who is member of the python software foundation, and
he said that
money for projects like this is available. Of course this was no official
statement.
No, money for a project of this scale is not available (the person you
spoke to may have been thinking of PSF development grants, which
typically only cover 4-12 weeks of dedicated development work by a
single developer on a project with specific near term objectives, not
running on ongoing service that would dwarf PyPI itself in complexity)
Yes, running a permanent build-server might be too high regular expenses.
I think providing a self hostable build server which can be started with one
command
would be such a project.
