New Developments in Python Packaging Ecosystem

This lightning talk will cover the latest progress on Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs) within the Python packaging ecosystem. We'll briefly review key completed, accepted, and under-discussion proposals, including important features like inline script metadata (PEP 723), dependency group management (PEP 735), and a standardized lockfile format (PEP 751). These proposals are driving standardization in Python packaging tools, enhancing developer experience, and making dependency management more reliable and efficient. Ideal for developers interested in Python packaging tools, this session offers insights into the ecosystem's direction and upcoming new features.
