Thanks for the kind words on PDM. At time of creating PDM I don't want it to be similar with any other package mangers, so I chose PEP 582, and I thought I can play more new stuff on it.

But as PDM becomes mature, it is acknowleged by the Python packaging people, I also work hard to make PDM fit more people's workflow, fortunately, it has a strong plugin system. You can add virtualenv support(pdm-venv), publish command(pdm-publish) and more. In the future, I would like to see it can eventually push the iteration of PEP 582 and make it finalized.
