A Comprehensive Guide to Python Project Management and Packaging: Concepts Illustrated with uv – Part I – Reinforced Knowledge
Linked is a useful and comprehensive series about packaging in python. The fact that there are so many of these is evidence that, a) I am still confused about some of this, and b) the state of packaging in python is and remains a mess. I don’t know how we are going to get out of this?

I would say that Ruby and Python are more similar than different but in the end, for many reasons, I would use Ruby if I had a choice.
