Representative from Homebrew for a Python packaging discussion

[tgamblin]

Hi all: @MikeMcQuaid suggested I start a discussion on this and link him to it, so here goes.

There was recently a livestreamed panel of Python packaging people, which I guess is going to become a future edition of Talk Python to Me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z50B6AmQwLw. It's a good discussion if you keep up with happenings in the Python world.

Anyway, folks pointed out in this Twitter thread that downstream consumers of packaging -- i.e., users and dsitros, were not represented, and a follow-on panel is being organized. I'm looking for someone from brew who might be interested in joining to give brew's perspective on Python packages.

Let me know who the right person from Homebrew is, or if y'all aren't interested, that's fine too.
