    For those of you who specify extras for your package, standardizes their normalization and restricts valid names in new packaging metadata to avoid ambiguity. Basically make sure to only use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphen.

    It still blows my mind that Python has visited a quarter of the planets in our solar system (writing it out as a fraction at helped hit this fact home)

    I've released pybind11 2.9.2, with some fixes backported from the development branch (PyPy 3.9, CPython 3.11, etc). Likely the last Python 2.7/3.5, MSVC<2017 release ever. CI for those things is basically dead. Dev branch has dropped them some time ago. ;)

    Anyone with significant experience managing an open source Python project want to come onboard as a Cookiecutter maintainer? Besides granting permissions and some architecture stuff, you'll need to hit the ground running.

    It's really weird that now uses Python as that course turned me OFF to languages for quite a while due to a bad experience w/ flaky teammates on the final project implementing a Logo interpreter in Scheme. Glad I got over that 😁

    For **new** people to your repo (I think first-time contributors and beginners), what would you expect to be automatically installed in a fresh virtual environment? `requirements.txt` and equiv `dev-requirements.txt` (or that's all you got), or all `*requirements*.txt` files?

    For those of you who keep their requirements file in a . `requirements/` folder, what are the equivalent file names for `requirements.txt` and `dev-requirements.txt`?

    Interesting outcome of this poll is the vast majority of replies I got said, "install dev-requirements.txt, but check requirements.txt". And yet the poll suggests either no dev-requirements.txt file or typically don't want it installed (I suspect it's the former)

    When creating a new virtual environment for a preexisting workspace that has requirements files, what do you install from? Consider the file names used below as just for illustrative purposes, not specific file names
