I simply don't understand this Python packaging insanity to this day. I tried, even released a few modules on PyPI. Why can't it just make sense? Like Ruby gems? Like Rust packages? Even Javascript packages are easier to understand. It's actually easier to make a PKGBUILD file for my C project.

I love making libraries but this Python packaging stuff is just so painful. Such a shame, Python has a really nice module system. There's one feature that I love though: editable mode. Finally I can develop and use a library at the same time! I've been trying to accomplish this with git submodules since forever.
