Hello all,
One of more recent topics on this forum (can't recall which one exactly) discussed Python packages.
It made me wonder, is there any (more or less) agreed upon metric for assessing a Python package quality?
If one requires a new functionality in code (say, working with docx files), it is easy to go to PyPi, search for the term, and get a lot of hits. But surely there are vast differences among packages, in terms of quality, number of features, maintenance...
