Meson for Python applications

Read Original

The article details the author's experience porting the caffeine-ng desktop application from Python's packaging system (wheels) to Meson. It explains the limitations of Python's packaging for applications needing to install non-Python files (man pages, icons, translations) and manage external dependencies. Meson is presented as a superior, language-agnostic build system that handles these tasks cleanly, simplifies installation/uninstallation, and is more familiar to system packagers.
