    Collection of lightweight Python projects that share the same policy

    Hi HN !

    Twelve days ago, I showcased: Hubstore – My contribution to how we distribute and manage FOSS apps [1].

    Hubstore is a lightweight software that lets you download, install, manage, and run Python desktop applications. I have built Pyrustic [2] (warmly welcomed months ago on HN [3]) to help develop Python desktop applications.

    Pyrustic is still a work in progress, but I also want end-users (even people with no programming experience) to easily consume the work of a Python programmer (Pyrustic based work or not). By work, I mean desktop applications of course.

    I got some interesting feedback [4] on Hubstore (and Pyrustic too) and so here I am again to show a major Hubstore update.

    Hubstore now consumes applications built with the Python standard packaging format Wheel [5] instead of reinventing the wheel [6]. Many pre-existing Python projects are de facto Hubstore-compatible.

    Pyrustic has also had changes and can now produce wheels. I will do another Show HN specifically for Pyrustic after improving its documentation and README.

    I look forward to reading your comments [7], questions etc. Thanks for your feedback. Genuinely appreciated.
