* Package name    : manim-ce
  Version         : 0.15.1
  Upstream Author : Grant Sanderson, Manim Community Developers
* URL             : https://www.manim.community/
* License         : Expat
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description     : Animation engine for explanatory math videos

Manim is used to create precise animations programmatically, as demonstrated
in the videos of 3Blue1Brown. All animations are written as Python code and
rendered with the manim CLI tool.

This is the Commmunity Edition of manim, which is a better maintained fork of
Grant Sanderson's manim package. You will want this version unless you plan to
re-render some old 3Blue1Brown Youtube videos from Grant's source code.

The package will be team-maintained under the umbrella of
Debian Python Team <team+python@tracker.debian.org>
at https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/manim-ce

Hi Timo,
I have been a huge fan of this software ever since I saw this tooling in 3Blue-1Brown videos, so thanks for the ITP.

One quick question: since it's a math based package, could you consider maintaining it in the math-team umbrella instead?

Let me know what you'd think?


Best,
Nilesh

Hi Nilesh,

* Nilesh Patra <nilesh@nileshpatra.info> [2022-06-10 19:46]:
Happy to see the Math Team take an interest! However, Manim has an
extensive list of (non-math) Python dependencies, so in the interest
of smooth updates, the Python Team should better be involved in
its maintenance.

I suggest we put one team as Maintainer and the other as additional
uploader; Salsa can easily grant push access to both teams, and the
package will also show up on both Team package overviews.

I am leaning towards the Python Team as primary maintainer, as I
expect to encounter more Python issues than math issues, but I am
open to arguments why the Math Team is a better fit. ;)


Cheers
Timo

As an update on this ITP, the last remaining blocker for this
ITP is the skia-pathops dependency. I intend to convince
upstream to use pyclipper instead.
