You don't really need a virtualenv

Re:You don't really need a virtualenv by BiteCode_dev on Thursday February 04, 2021 @10:09AM (#26025932)

My first attempt, and I get "AttributeError: module 'toml.decoder' has no attribute 'TomlPreserveCommentDecoder'"

So careful, far from stable.

I reported it (https://github.com/frostming/pdm/issues/247) because the project is great and I want it to succeed, but I won't put it in prod any time soon. I prefer my package manager to be stable than fancy.

It's also why I don't use poetry and so on in training. There is always some bug that students will encounter later because there are so many config combinations they can encounter, but recent tools have not been as battle tested as we think: the enterprise world is a wild beast.

True, bugs can't be exposed by a few users. People have vastly different environment setup for their Python development. System python, in-venv, pyenv, asdf, homebrew, etc. So I post it here to seek for help testing.

The sematic versioning may be a bit misleading, it is just because there was a big breaking change to support PEP 621, and I marked it as "Alpha" stage.

I have a lot of respect for the way you react to this comment, and how quickly you fixed the bug.

Thank you for working on such a useful project, and so seriously.

I immediately encountered a second different error, and I'll also take the time to craft a good bug report for it.
