Guido van Rossum joins Microsoft

My core problem is with C/C++ depedencies. Can you describe to me how you handle these when you deploy Python?

  - system packages (deb/rpm/etc)
  - binary wheels (manylinux)
  - building from source

plus some caching if appropriate

God, I wish that would work for me.

To take your examples in order:

1) system packages: almost always out of date for my needs

2) Binary wheels: I actually haven't investigated this much, maybe it will work (and if it does, I'll buy you a drink if we ever meet in person).

3) Building from source: this kinda proves my point about Python having poor dependency management tools if this is a serious response. In general, this would be much further down the rabbit hole than I want to go.
