Products that do what Curdling – A faster Python package installer does
Curdling is a package installer for Python just like pip. However, its concurrent design makes it much much faster than pip.

Hi, I recently launched Packagr.app - a simple cloud hosted private PIP index which Python developers can use to store and deploy private Python packages: https://www.packagr.app Packagr provides a convenient alternative to open source solutions such as pypiserver and devpi-server and takes care of hosting, authentication and package sharing out of the box Thanks for looking, Chris

https://github.com/gugarosa/opytimizer Did you ever reach a bottleneck in your computational experiments? Are you tired of selecting suitable parameters for a chosen technique? If yes, Opytimizer is the real deal! This package provides an easy-to-go implementation of meta-heuristic optimizations. From agents to search space, from internal functions to external communication, we will foster all research related to optimizing stuff. Use Opytimizer if you need a library or wish to: - Create your optimization algorithm; - Design or use pre-loaded optimization tasks; -…

The Problem I’ve been using BeautifulSoup for sometime. It’s the standard for ease-of-use in Python scraping, but it almost always becomes the performance bottleneck when processing large-scale datasets. Parsing complex or massive HTML trees in Python typically suffers from high memory allocation costs and the overhead of the Python object model during tree traversal. In my production scraping workloads, the parser was consuming more CPU cycles than the network I/O. Lxml is fast but again uses up a lot of memory when processing large documents and has can cause trouble with malformed…

I built a tokenizer in C++ with a Python binding that outperforms HuggingFace tokenizers by 10x on large inputs. It's optimized for minimal memory usage and latency. Benchmarks and comparison included in README. Would love feedback or contributions!

I recently began using Python for AI projects and found Rye, which is an all-in-one tool that replaces Pyenv, Pip, and Venv, for a more project-centered approach to Python development (like Ruby or JavaScript or Rust). As someone who habitually writes tutorials for beginners, I wrote a series of articles for my mac.install.guide site advocating setting up Python projects using Rye. Am I leading beginners down the wrong path by suggesting Rye for Python tooling? Beginners often encounter READMEs and tutorials that show `pip install something` as a first step. That led me to the error "Command…

Recently, I saw few Python accelerators getting a lot of attention, and I thought it would be a good time to finally present the project that we will make available to test in the upcoming days. Flyable is an ahead-of-time compiler that takes your Python code, analyses it, and outputs very optimized machine code. Micro-benchmarks show that it produces programs that run between 10-70x time faster than Python. Flyable is certainly one of the fastest and easiest ways to accelerate your Python code. It finally allows Python to compete in the ring of fast and efficient languages without having to…

The FunctionCacher Python utility provides a way to cache the result of a (computation- or IO-heavy) function call to a location on the filesystem, ideally onto a ramdisk/tmpfs. This allows caches to exceed the lifetime of the program, which is useful for rapid-prototyping (& rapid-crashing) scripts. Caches are generated based function name, parameters, and code.
