Survey results: How software ecosystems deal with breaking changes

2017-08-31 Thread Chris Bogart
Last fall we announced on this list a survey about how and why breaking changes are handled differently in 18 different software ecosystems. We've just submitted a paper to a conference about the results, and we've also set up a site (http://breakingapis.org/survey) where you can compare how diff

Looking for info on how Python developers negotiate breaking changes in PyPI packages

M, CPAN, Erlang/Hex, or something else, we're still interested -- just make a different "software ecosystem" choice on the first page. The study is a comparison among ecosystems; PyPI is one point of comparison).
