I'm a dev with 20+ years of experience behind me and about 12 years of Python. I'm pretty accomplished in this space with a few projects [under]() my belt. I'm also having an absolutely miserable time trying to package my latest project with Flatpak.

Interestingly, that one page refers to the "simple" buildsystem when building your Python project, but most of the references to Python + Flatpak I see out there talk about using Meson like it's the thing everyone is actually using.

The official website goes on at length about how fast it is (I don't care) and talks a lot about compiling your project (Python doesn't generally do that), so yeah... I'm a little frustrated.
