Those of us not familiar with it may not know what we are missing,
or have
little idea about what works with CPAN.
CPAN also covers up some deficiencies in Perl that Python doesn't
suffer from. I am sure we could do well not to replicate those
features.
Regardless, Python's packages are distributed in a number of ways.
PyPI is only one of them. Fedora and Ubuntu are two other ways.
Do Fedora & Ubuntu's package managers offer modules that appear in
CPAN? In other words, if I was a Perl user under Ubuntu would I use
the pkg manager to add a Perl module, or CPAN, or would both work?
Thanks
