A big, interactive table of package management tools in the Python ecosystem

Python Packaging Tools

An interactive web app to explore, and hopefully better understand, Python packaging tools.

python-packaging-tools's Issues

Add “build” and “pep 517” (suggested via twitter)

https://twitter.com/jugmac00/status/1320029030033260545

Add PyPA download stats

Add column with download counts

Add pyflow and pdm

• https://github.com/David-OConnor/pyflow
• https://github.com/frostming/pdm

Unless you feel like this would confuse readers! But your page is called "The Big List of Python Packaging and Distribution Tools" so I expect it to be somewhat exhaustive :p

set up automatic deployment with github actions

Current deployment requires manually copying files and restarting the server. Automate this with GitHub actions.

make table wider

The description column is too narrow. Fix the css so that cell is wider and the page is more readable.

Remove dephell

https://github.com/dephell/dephell

Abandoned, & website was taken over by something else

add pbr

https://docs.openstack.org/pbr/latest/

Add plz

"plz" is a small pip clone, 1 megabyte executable, uploads to pypi, bug report assistant, new project wizard, HTML/PDF documentation generator, and maybe more I don't remember lol

Depends on: Nothing!
Python: No Python required!
License: MIT
Stars: 25 but is new
Mascot: Lovely snake with a crown
Documentation: ???
Repo: https://github.com/juancarlospaco/plz

add twine

https://twine.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Sorting by created date sorts lexicographically, not by actual date

As the title says. Sorting by the column yields "august, august, august, december, february" of various years.

Fix created date

@gaborbernat noticed the created date was not correct for tox. https://twitter.com/gjbernat/status/1305582155943288833

Investigate if there is a way to get the correct data from github's graphql API. If not, manually enter the dates.

add python-build

Proposal: add pip-audit

Hey there! Thanks a ton for maintaining this list and site; I think it's an awesome idea 🙂

As one of the maintainers of pip-audit, I'm submitting it for consideration: pip-audit is a tool for auditing dependency sources (packaging files, active environments, etc.) for known dependencies (i.e., ones submitted to the PyPA security advisory DB or other open-source DBs).

Repo: https://github.com/trailofbits/pip-audit/

PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/pip-audit/

I'm happy to issue a corresponding PR, if you're willing to include it!

Add rye

https://github.com/astral-sh/rye

Add a column with latest release date

I was checking out the options and the health of dephell is in doubt, it is archived in github and nothing has been done in 2 years

Add prefix-dev's projects: rip and pixi

• https://github.com/prefix-dev/rip pip in Rust
• https://github.com/prefix-dev/pixi package manager

add dephell

https://github.com/dephell/dephell

Add uv

https://astral.sh/blog/uv

Add buildout

Buildout is used all Plone projects, and probably all Zope projects.

Buildout is an automation tool written in and extended with Python and designed to solve 2 problems:

1. Application-centric assembly and deployment
2. Repeatable assembly of programs from Python software distributions

Docs: www.buildout.org/
PYPI: https://pypi.org/project/zc.buildout/
Depends on: setuptools

virtualenv description gently misleading

This is essentially a 3rd party package that duplicates the standard libary venv module

is not exactly true these days; virtualenv 20.0.0+ has various tricks up its sleeve which make creating virtualenvs much faster than the stock module.

add conda

Encode state in url for shareable links
