Continuing the discussion from [I want Best Practices for Working With Python & Julia Together](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/i-want-best-practices-for-working-with-python-julia-together/131700/8):

Yes, new to me, note “Bleeding-edge fork of Distributed.jl” and “This is a soft fork of Distributed.jl for the purposes of testing new things before merging upstream. Here be dragons!”

Likely best not to continue advanced topic, Distributed[Next] most users do not use, on that newbie thread on Python interop… (orthogonal issue) or recommend to such users, can someone migrate relevant part of that discussion?

[I’m also guilty of off-topic tangents, great to know of linked reply capability in top left corner, it’s not very obvious.]
