Lars, do you not recall the previous threads on this? The very same questions were answered about tooling. The very same requests were made and now Michal is providing a reasonable timeline that he would like other devs to help the Python team meet. |

I see plenty of other devs and contributors touch Python packages with no problems... Is it just you maybe? |

Provide tooling? Not good enough. Provide a reasonable timeline? Not good enough. Open bugs? We ignore them. |
