The purpose of this working group is to support the larger efforts of improving and maintaining the packaging ecosystem in Python through fundraising and disbursement of raised funds. It largely focuses on efforts such as PyPI, pip, packaging.python.org, setuptools, and cross-project efforts.

The working group is currently seeking funding forseveral new features and infrastructure improvements in packaging and distribution tools.

Your financial contribution to the Packaging Workgroup will be handled as a donation to the Python Software Foundation (PSF).
