By now, you’re probably asking yourself, “What does any of this Python packaging stuff have to do with embedded Linux?” The answer is “not much” but bear in mind that the word development also happens to be in the title of this book, and this chapter has everything to do with modern-day software development. To succeed as a developer, you need to be able to deploy your code to production fast, frequently, and in a repeatable manner. That means managing your dependencies carefully and automating as much of the process as possible. You now know how to do that with Python.
