Agenda

• Pip & backtracking

  • Bernard: does the UX team need to do anything more on this?
    • Put together a survey, because the current/legacy resolver doesn't do backtracking -- users won't be aware.
    • Does Pradyun have wording to implement? Yes, and will need Bernard to review the PR
• Issues - anything you're waiting on?

  • Nicole: error message suggestions -- https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8495 -- Pradyun & Bernard -- re: #8494 .

  • Issue 7744: a survey we need to analyze. Nicole to discuss with Georgia & Bernard

    • 70% majority say pip should do things in a certain way. Need to analyze comments. Unfortunately it's not that way we've implemented it!
  • Pradyun: 20.2.4 to go out in a few hours. Reviewed TP's PR, #8932, the big speedup, will be in 20.2.4. Will have something for Bernard to review Wed or Thurs
  • Georgia: contract amendment
  • Ernest: invoices!
  • Sumana: to do -- reach out to DI re volunteer customer support for 20.3 [later note: this is now done]
• Tomorrow?
  • pip output redesign... not the right time, but this is a big discussion. Let's do that at a later stage.
• CZI convening
  • TODO: Sumana to follow up and look at hours, whether we are attending, etc.
  • Could Ernest come? Could other team members come?
