![]() This is isn't ready, but it can resolve `meine_stadt_transparent==0.2.14`. The source distributions are currently being built serially one after the other, i don't know if that is incidentally due to the resolution order, because sdist building is blocking or because of something in the resolver that could be improved. It's a bit annoying that the thing that was supposed to do http requests now suddenly also has to a whole download/unpack/resolve/install/build routine, it messes up the type hierarchy. The much bigger problem though is avoid recursive crate dependencies, it's the reason for the callback and for splitting the builder into two crates (badly named atm) |

puffin
An experimental Python packaging tool.
Motivation
Puffin is an extremely fast (experimental) Python package resolver and installer, intended to
replace pip
and pip-tools
(pip-compile
and pip-sync
).
Puffin itself is not a complete "package manager", but rather a tool for locking dependencies
(similar to pip-compile
) and installing them (similar to pip-sync
). Puffin can be used to
generate a set of locked dependencies from a requirements.txt
file, and then install those
locked dependencies into a virtual environment.
Puffin represents an intermediary goal in our pursuit of building a "Cargo for Python": a Python
package manager that is extremely fast, reliable, and easy to use -- capable of replacing not only
pip
, but also pipx
, pip-tools
, virtualenv
, tox
, setuptools
, and even pyenv
, by way of
managing the Python installation itself.
Puffin's limited scope allows us to solve many of the low-level problems that are required to
build such a package manager (like package installation) while shipping an immediately useful tool
with a minimal barrier to adoption. Try it today in lieu of pip
and pip-tools
.
Features
- Extremely fast dependency resolution and installation: install dependencies in sub-second time.
- Disk-space efficient: Puffin uses a global cache to deduplicate dependencies, and uses Copy-on-Write on supported filesystems to reduce disk usage.
Limitations
Puffin does not yet support:
- Source distributions
- VCS dependencies
- URL dependencies
- Windows
- ...
Like pip-compile
, Puffin generates a platform-specific requirements.txt
file (unlike, e.g.,
poetry
, which generates a platform-agnostic poetry.lock
file). As such, Puffin's
requirements.txt
files are not portable across platforms and Python versions.
Usage
To resolve a requirements.in
file:
cargo run -p puffin-cli -- pip-compile requirements.in
To install from a resolved requirements.txt
file:
cargo run -p puffin-cli -- pip-sync requirements.txt
For more, see cargo run -p puffin-cli -- --help
:
Usage: puffin-cli <COMMAND>
Commands:
compile Compile a `requirements.in` file to a `requirements.txt` file
sync Sync dependencies from a `requirements.txt` file
clean Clear the cache
freeze Enumerate the installed packages in the current environment
help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
Options:
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
