Hi Joni, thanks for the references.
buildout has been on my inspirations for this proposal. The historic shift of buildout vs virtualenv+pip as well as build-outs unfortunate dependency on eggs are some of the pain points that did happen quite a while back. If build-out was able to run on wheels and in designated controllable folders i wouldn't even have to start with my proposal. Unfortunately buildout as is is not very well aligned with the needs i perceive on my coworkers/peers/collaborators as well as myself. -- Ronny Am 08.10.18 um 11:03 schrieb Joni Orponen: > On Mon, Oct 8, 2018 at 10:15 AM Thomas Kluyver <tho...@kluyver.me.uk > <mailto:tho...@kluyver.me.uk>> wrote: > > Have you tried using conda envs?
