roadmap
pip
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Python Packaging, One Year Later: A Look Back at 2023 in Python Packaging
I wish Poetry were PEP-621 compliant though. [1]
Currently, it uses a proprietary configuration group (or "tool section", as they seem to call it in `pyproject.toml` speech).

What are people using to organize virtual environments these days?
Sorry for the late reply. I cannot recall the exact source, but I found this issue in the poetry repo: https://github.com/python-poetry/roadmap/issues/3. IIUC, they are trying to make poetry compliant with PEP621 but the PR was not merged yet? Will update the original comment to add this nuance.

How to create a Python package in 2022
I believe that Poetry does conform to PEP 518 (i.e. it specifies `[build-system]requires`), but not to the `dependencies` part of PEP 621 [1]. There are plans for this in the future though [2].

How to Create Virtual Environments in Python
Whenever you are working on a Python project that has external dependencies installed with pip, it is strongly recommended to first create a virtual environment.

Can't seem to install Python YAML support
$ sudo pip install y$ sudo pip install yaml WARNING: pip is being invoked by an old script wrapper. This will fail in a future version of pip. Please see https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5599 for advice on fixing the underlying issue. To avoid this problem you can invoke Python with '-m pip' instead of running pip directly. ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement yaml (from versions: none) ERROR: No matching distribution found for yaml

Bun v0.6.0 – Bun's new JavaScript bundler and minifier
What are you implying will happen?
Using the build-in tools, you can save the exact versions of dependencies (i.e. a lock file) using "pip freeze >dependencies.txt". This should give you the exact same set of packages in two years' time.
If you want to be even more sure, you can also store hashes in the lock file. This has to be generated by a separate tools at the moment [1][2] but can be consumed by the built-in tools [3], so "pip install -r requirements.txt" is still all you need in two years' time.

My Goldilocks Python Setup: pyenv, pipx, and pip-tools
Here’s the issue, https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/11664. I think the idea would be to have some file/json description of environment that could be passed to pip to allow it to fully cross compile. They are open to supporting it just needs contributor to be found to implement it and go through review/discussion.

Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in Google They Are Not Willing to Fix
To be fair the only alternative is fixing Python, and even then you still would have to wait a good 5 years at least for all the old Python versions to dwindle.
It doesn't look like the fixing effort is progressing very quickly: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8606
To their credit, at least they didn't close it "works as intended" which I imagine a lot of projects would.

Pip 23.1 Released - Massive improvement to backtracking
Another good benchmark to trying to resolve apache-airflow[all]==1.10.13 using the state of PyPi on 2020-12-02, I give instructions here on how to reproduce that workflow: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/11836. Including a benchmark how how many extra packages your resolver should visit.
