Agenda

• Surveys

  • feedback from the resolver survey - anything that needs to be transferred into GitHub?

    • Pradyun to look at it a few times per week – will look at recent responses now, some of which describe bad experiences with the new resolver

• Following up on past TODOs:

  • TODO: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8307 better document what pip will allow in the future

  • re https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8792 - from https://wiki.python.org/psf/PackagingWG/2020-08-26-pip-teamwidemeeting - TODO: determine whether this is different than old behavior, and document somewhere on pip.pypa.io, maybe migration guide

  • TODO: Pradyun: a place to ask: Github issues about performance issues, ask them to try fast-deps. (from https://wiki.python.org/psf/PackagingWG/2020-08-26-pip-teamwidemeeting )

    • has done this with a few people, they had consistently slower results

    • McSinyx is working on improving performance on a volunteer basis - no specific timeline for the new behavior to become the default

  • fix typo in “Could not determine installation order due to cicular dependency” from https://wiki.python.org/psf/PackagingWG/2020-08-26-pip-teamwidemeeting

    • Pradyun to double-check
