It looks like using _either_ async Rust with a `JoinSet` _or_
parallelizing a fixed threadpool with Rayon provide about a ~5% speed-up
over our current serial approach:
```console
❯ hyperfine --runs 30 --warmup 5 --prepare "./target/release/puffin venv .venv" \
"./target/release/rayon sync ./scripts/benchmarks/requirements-large.txt" \
"./target/release/async sync ./scripts/benchmarks/requirements-large.txt" \
"./target/release/main sync ./scripts/benchmarks/requirements-large.txt"
Benchmark 1: ./target/release/rayon sync ./scripts/benchmarks/requirements-large.txt
Time (mean ± σ): 295.7 ms ± 16.9 ms [User: 28.6 ms, System: 263.3 ms]
Range (min … max): 249.2 ms … 315.9 ms 30 runs
Benchmark 2: ./target/release/async sync ./scripts/benchmarks/requirements-large.txt
Time (mean ± σ): 296.2 ms ± 20.2 ms [User: 36.1 ms, System: 340.1 ms]
Range (min … max): 258.0 ms … 359.4 ms 30 runs
Benchmark 3: ./target/release/main sync ./scripts/benchmarks/requirements-large.txt
Time (mean ± σ): 306.6 ms ± 19.5 ms [User: 25.3 ms, System: 220.5 ms]
Range (min … max): 269.6 ms … 332.2 ms 30 runs
Summary
'./target/release/rayon sync ./scripts/benchmarks/requirements-large.txt' ran
1.00 ± 0.09 times faster than './target/release/async sync ./scripts/benchmarks/requirements-large.txt'
1.04 ± 0.09 times faster than './target/release/main sync ./scripts/benchmarks/requirements-large.txt'
```
It's much easier to just parallelize with Rayon and avoid async in the
underlying wheel code, so this PR takes that approach for now.

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
- Uninstalling packages
- 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 -- compile requirements.in
To install from a resolved requirements.txt file:
cargo run -p puffin-cli -- 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
