Agenda

  • Pip & backtracking

    • Bernard: does the UX team need to do anything more on this?

      • Put together a survey, because the current/legacy resolver doesn’t do backtracking – users won’t be aware.

      • Does Pradyun have wording to implement? Yes, and will need Bernard to review the PR

  • Issues - anything you’re waiting on?

    • Nicole: error message suggestions – https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8495 – Pradyun & Bernard – re: #8494 .

    • Issue 7744: a survey we need to analyze. Nicole to discuss with Georgia & Bernard

      • 70% majority say pip should do things in a certain way. Need to analyze comments. Unfortunately it’s not that way we’ve implemented it!

    • Pradyun: 20.2.4 to go out in a few hours. Reviewed TP’s PR, #8932, the big speedup, will be in 20.2.4. Will have something for Bernard to review Wed or Thurs

    • Georgia: contract amendment

    • Ernest: invoices!

    • Sumana: to do – reach out to DI re volunteer customer support for 20.3 [later note: this is now done]

  • Tomorrow?

    • pip output redesign… not the right time, but this is a big discussion. Let’s do that at a later stage.

  • CZI convening

    • TODO: Sumana to follow up and look at hours, whether we are attending, etc.

    • Could Ernest come? Could other team members come?
