This article covers two significant developments in the Python community, highlighting PEP 772, which proposes the establishment of a Python Packaging Council to tackle governance issues in Python packaging. The council aims to streamline decision-making processes while enabling better standards for packaging tools and practices. Additionally, it introduces the official MongoDB backend for Django, a response to increasing use of MongoDB with Django. This new package ensures seamless integration, providing Django models that work with MongoDB documents and maintaining Django's familiar features, including admin support and migrations.
As Python packaging has matured, several interrelated problems with the current way of managing the technical development, decision making and processes have become apparent.
This PEP proposes a Python Packaging Council with broad authority over packaging standards, tools, and implementations. Like the Python Steering Council, the Packaging Council seeks to exercise this authority as rarely as possible.
Developers can use Django models to represent MongoDB documents, with support for Django forms, validations, and authentication.
The official MongoDB-built Python package allows users to fire up the Django admin page as they normally would, with full support for migrations and database schema history.
