I created a small blog post. How to combine #meson and #PDM to build #Python extensions.
It's a good alternative to good old setup.py.

# Packaging #MesonPython

#ThisMonthInFluiddyn - Jan 2024 edition

Plenty on the packaging front this time.

🔹Ported to #pdm as packaging tool for most of our projects.

🔹Trying out #pixi as an alternative to #conda / #mamba. Lock files are great, but we had some hiccups.

🔹#transonic has implemented an experimental support for #meson and #MesonPython. Unreleased and nothing final yet, but tests on #fluidsim and discussion at #Pythran is ongoing.
