Introduce a new dependency management tutorial #402
Conversation
- this promotes the draft pipenv tutorial to the main guide as a *new* dependency management tutorial - several of the bootstrapping improvements have been incorporated into the initial package installation tutorial (that still needs more work, but it isn't the main focus of this update) - the main index page has been rewrapped in editing - the "new-tutorials" section has been removed completely for the time being (as I'm hoping that normal PR reviews will be sufficient for any further tutorial updates)

I'm not 100% sure I like the focus on "collaborative" projects. It sounds a bit too advanced. Many of my projects are for my own use exclusively, but I still find managing dependencies and virtual environments a problem. I'd be inclined to describe the pipenv case as "Managing multiple Python projects". Certainly there are many cases where multiple projects can be managed from a single Python environment (as the basic guide describes) but once people start thinking of what they are doing as "managing" more than one "project" (as opposed to, say, "writing a lot of scripts") they are probably at a stage where they can understand and evaluate the advice given in the pipenv-based guide to decide if it's appropriate for them.
But we can review and modify the focus later, so this comment doesn't imply that I want to hold up merging this.

When can we expect this to land? |
Right meow. |
@pfmoore I tend to work on the theory that "me right now" and "me 6 months from now" aren't exactly the same person (since we won't remember exactly the same things), so pre-emptively collaborating with future me is still collaborating :) |
:-) 100% agreed with that. With my memory, "me 5 days from now" might as well be a different person. But nevertheless, to be serious for a moment, I doubt that's what people will think of when they see the word "collaborative". As I say, though, let's see how it works in practice before worrying. |
After thinking about it for a while, I realised the key assumption that I've tweaked the new bullet point on the main page accordingly: 8564f7f I haven't reviewed the tutorial intro on that basis, though. |
