This conference talk from PyCon US explores the challenges and future directions of Python's packaging ecosystem. Discover how the "Wheel Next" interest group is working to adapt the Wheel format to better support specialized hardware, non-default package indexes, and diverse compute backends. Learn about the roadmap for extending Python packaging to address complex compute environments where standard wheel tags are insufficient. The 32-minute presentation covers proposed PEPs that aim to evolve the Wheel format, metadata, packaging tools, and PyPI standards while maintaining Python's accessibility and simplicity. Join the call to action from this open-source collaboration of users, companies, packages, and maintainers who are collectively building the packaging ecosystem Python needs for today's evolving landscape of custom silicon, varied CPU architectures, and AI accelerators.
