[15:19:40] <toad_polo> nedbat: That is not really a design philosophy I'd be in favor of.

[15:19:51] <toad_polo> We're trying to get *away* from the "you can do anything" in the declarative config file.

[15:20:46] <toad_polo> One thing to note is that the `file` attribute in that case would be slightly different from other uses.

[15:21:22] <nedbat> toad_polo: in what way would it be different?

[15:21:52] <toad_polo> `file:` basically reads multiple files, as text, and concatenates them.

[15:21:55] <toad_polo> But `install_requires` takes a list.

[15:22:38] <nedbat> so it would be like classifiers

[15:23:17] <nedbat> and entry_points maybe?

[15:23:38] <toad_polo> *classifiers* accepts `file:`? I did not know that.

[15:23:47] <toad_polo> That seems bizarre to me.

[15:23:54] <nedbat> toad_polo: i've never tried it, but the metadata sections says it does

[15:24:09] <toad_polo> Well, that's a point then.

[15:24:27] <toad_polo> I guess `file:` is already inconsistent in many ways.

[15:28:59] <nedbat> i understand the desire to simplify possibilities. i face that with coverage also

[15:29:21] <nedbat> (side note: i'm currently trying to understand why i don't understand what coverage is doing on a project of mine... :( )

[19:54:51] <toad_polo> di_codes: EWDurbin: sumanah: pradyunsg: I'm putting together the hatchery proposal for the Packaging summit at the moment.

[19:55:58] <toad_polo> There's a lot of stuff in there about "have you ever organized a program before", but I can really only speak for myself. Anyone want to be listed on this proposal so I can pad out the "organizer" bona fides?

[20:56:57] <toad_polo> Here's the MR for the hatchery proposal: https://gitlab.com/pganssle/proposals/merge_requests/7

[20:56:58] <toad_polo> I've also responded on the discourse thread: https://discuss.python.org/t/pycon-us-2020-do-we-want-conduct-a-hatchery-event-for-python-packaging/2603/4

[20:56:58] <toad_polo> We have a few days before it needs to be submitted. I'll probably submit the initial version on Monday or so just so I don't forget, but update it as edits come in.
