Eric Anderson (@ericmander) welcomes Peter Wang (@pwang) for a conversation about the Python ecosystem and the open-source communities that have built it. Peter is the creator of Anaconda, the near-essential Python distribution for scientific computing that makes managing packages a lot more manageable. In today\u2019s episode, Peter offers a unique and powerful perspective on how to make the economics of open-source work for everyone.

In this episode we discuss:

\n
• The paradox of the PVM and Python\u2019s packaging difficulties
\n
• How Guido van Rossum implied permission for Anaconda and the open-source Python movement
\n
• Python as the lingua franca of a new professional class
