Building and managing Python packages is a tedious task for most data scientists, especially when the packages need to be configured to work on different platforms and operating systems. This is due to the numerous low-level libraries requiring compilation with a C, C++, or Fortran compiler, leading to complicated dependencies that hinder efficient numerical computing.

Summary

The package problem in Python is that there are several low-level libraries that need to be compiled, making it difficult to install the correct package for a given set of packages you need. To address this issue, a new set of technologies like build recipe system, build system and installer system has been introduced.
