Apache Airflow actually makes use of entry_points in its provider packages architecture. This vid helped me a lot! Thank you!

[@heitorlessa2715]

TIL entry points were not for CLIs only - that’s a neat plugin system. Thank you!

Thanks for the detailed video on this topic, it is super helpful and the content on your channel is so good that even if you don't ask peps to subscribe/like they are gonna do it anyway. :)

How well does this play with type checkers? Does it just work out of the box?

[@goodclover]

I usually understand your videos, but this one flew right over my head. 😅 Packages always confuse me.

[@anthonywritescode]

let me know if there's something I can make more apparent!
