UX Research & Design
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Over the course of 2020, the pip team has been working on improving pip's user
|
|
experience.
|
|
|
|
Currently, our focus is on:
|
|
|
|
1. `Understanding who uses pip`_
|
|
2. `Understanding how pip compares to other package managers, and how pip supports other Python packaging tools`_
|
|
3. `Understanding how pip's functionality is used, and how it could be improved`_
|
|
4. `Understanding how pip's documentation is used, and how it could be improved`_
|
|
|
|
You can read the `overall plan`_ and the `mid-year update`_ to learn more about
|
|
our work.

How to contribute
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Participate in UX research
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
It is important that we hear from pip users so that we can:
|
|
|
|
- Understand how pip is currently used by the Python community
|
|
- Understand how pip users *need* pip to behave
|
|
- Understand how pip users *would like* pip to behave
|
|
- Understand pip's strengths and shortcomings
|
|
- Make useful design recommendations for improving pip
|
|
|
|
If you are interested in participating in pip user research, please
|
|
`join pip's user panel`_.
|
|
You can `read more information about the user panel here`_.
|
|
|
|
We are also looking for users to:
|
|
|
|
- `Give us feedback about pip's new resolver`_
|
|
- `Tell us how pip should handle conflicts with already installed packages when updating other packages`_
|
|
|
|
Report UX issues
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
If you believe that you have found a user experience bug in pip, or you have
|
|
ideas for how pip could be made better for all users, you please file an issue
|
|
on the `pip issue tracker`_.
|
|
|
|
Work on UX issues
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
You can help improve pip's user experience by `working on UX issues`_.
|
|
Issues that are ideal for new contributors are marked with "good first issue".
|
|
|
|
Test new features
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
You can help the team by testing new features as they are released to the
|
|
community. Currently, we are looking for users to
|
|
`test pip's new dependency resolver`_.
|
|
|
|
Next steps
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
In the coming months we will extend this documentation to include:
|
|
|
|
1. Summaries of our user research, including recommendations for how to improve pip
|
|
2. Tools for the pip team to continue to practice user centered design (e.g. user personas, etc.)
