"Do you want to go on a quest?"

"I do!"

"All right! Let's start. Make a lunch, fill your water bottles, and grab your pack."

The boys hiked from home, to the small woods nearby, and then down the path.

"This is all kind of familiar. Isn't this the same quest we went on last week?"

"Yes. I admit it. This is a #request."

Amazing new #Python #PEP to improve optional dependencies handling:

https://peps.python.org/pep-0771/

The PEP is very thorough and well-written, and it perfectly uses @napari as a motivating example. We were not involved but we fully endorse it! 😃
