Ionel Cristian Mărieș - Less known packaging features and tricks You've been making packages for a while now. Everything works almost fine, however, lots of new features and tools have been developed recently. Some are really obscure. And there's a chance they can save you time and help you avoid _packaging-induced-pain_. I'm willing to bet couple of beers you haven't seen these features and/or tools before. This talk is going to show you: - Patterns and tricks you can use in your `setup.py`. - Obscure pip/setuptools/virtualenv/python features you can use to improve your packaging experience (be it as a user of packages or a package author). - Fledgeling alternative tools.
