So You Want to Solve Python Packaging: A Practical Guide

First, the technical: Python is used by vastly different groups of people, some that don't identify as "developers". Those groups often have disparate expectations about how packaging should work. Some don't even know what a package is.

@mntmn @esther I'm happy to help do this fwiw. If you can share the PCB, logo, and a rough mockup of what you want it to look like I'm happy to put it together.

@mntmn @esther I hate to say this, but I wouldn't use Inkscape. It just.. ain't up to the task.

My workflow for stuff like this is to use KiCAD's plot tool (same tool you use to generate gerbers) to generate SVGs and then edit in Affinity Designer.

@esther @mntmn possibly. It depends on *why* you want it as an svg.
