What is the most powerful part of the Python ecosystem?

Well, the ability to say PIP install magic library has to be right near the top.

But what powers the Python package index and who are the people behind it?

Did you know that they ship over 300 terabytes of traffic each month these days?

Join me as we chat with Donald Stuffed to look inside Python's packaging infrastructure.

This is Talk Python to Me, episode 64, recorded Wednesday, June 22nd, 2016.

I'm a developer, in many senses of the word, because I make these applications, but I also use these verbs to make this music

I constructed line by line just like when I'm coding another software design in both cases

it's about design patterns anyone can get the job done it's the execution that matters I have

Hey everyone, I have a really fabulous look inside the Python package index on deck for you.

Donald and I just scratched the service, but there are a ton of fascinating topics that we cover.

Before we get to our talk with Donald, I have one announcement for you. I've released my second

online course called Write Pythonic Code like a seasoned developer.

It's over four hours and 50 concrete examples of how you can write more Pythonic code.

It's jam-packed with tips that you can incorporate into your projects immediately.

Topics covered include the expansive use of dictionaries, hacking Python's memory usage via slots,

using generators to comprehensions and generate expressions, creating subsets of collections via slices all the way to the database, and much more.

Several of these topics are Python 3 only features, so you'll have even more reason to adopt Python 3 for your next project.
