TOPICS FOR NEXT EVENT

peek pip-tools
By: Stephen Rosen
Experience Level: Intermediate

A look inside of the pip-tools project!

I'll introduce myself and share how I came to be a current maintainer, and give some quick background on pip-tools' history. We'll then dive in to what it means to maintain this package today, and what its role is in the ecosystem.

Finally, we'll look at the fact that pip-tools has long used pip's internals, and how that can help us think about internal APIs and boundaries between components.
