@pfackeldey, while I know @ianna and @Moelf have experience here, can you comment a bit more on some of the ideas that you'd want to investigate or example problems that you'd like to try to solve?

[pfackeldey]

I'd be especially interested in how to package a python project that uses Julia (and also other non-C++ languages like Rust) and how to manage isolated & self-contained environments for developing such projects.

The most production-grade examples of python package using Julia as backend are probably:

• https://github.com/SciML/diffeqpy
• https://github.com/MilesCranmer/PySR

For environment isolation, if the main environment is python, then it's simple to just let Julia dependency to always check out a Manifest.toml
