Products that do what How to Install Python on a Mac does
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…

deptry 0.14.0 was just released, bringing significant speed improvements: It is now up to 10 times faster than the previous release! For those unfamiliar with deptry; deptry is a command line tool to check for issues with dependencies in a Python project, such as unused or missing dependencies. GitHub: https://github.com/fpgmaas/deptry For some benchmarks of the new release, see the release notes: https://github.com/fpgmaas/deptry/releases/tag/0.14.0 The performance improvement was achieved by leveraging Rust to parse the AST and extract…

Hi everyone! I just released the Practical Python Projects book! (https://practicalpython.yasoob.me) I am happy to announce the first version as a release candidate. I have poured a lot of love into writing this book and would love to hear what you guys think. (A limited 100% off and discount coupons at the end) This is not a pure beginner book. The book does assume some background Python knowledge. You need to know the basics like methods, functions, classes, and such. If I use something that is not typically covered in beginner Python books, I will explain it before I use it.…

I’m sure many of you are familiar, but there’s a treacherous gap between finding (or building) a model that works in PyTorch, and getting that deployed into your application, especially in consumer-facing applications. I’ve been very interested in solving this problem with a great developer experience. Over time, I gradually realized that the highest-impact thing to have was a way to go from existing Python code to a self-contained native binary—in other words, a Python compiler. I was already pretty familiar with a successful attempt: when Apple introduced armv8 on the iPhone 5s, they…

Write a Python file named `jeeves.py` in your project directory with contents: import sh def lint(): """Lint your Python project.""" sh.mypy() This, together with pip install jeeves-shell[all] makes it possible to do j lint …which will run mypy for you, and, via the omnipotent `j` command, open ways for • Automation of routine tasks, • Standardization of your projects, • Implementation of best practices, • And more :) Github: https://github.com/jeeves-sh/jeeves-shell/

Pipask is a drop-in replacement for pip that addresses a serious security flaw: standard pip executes arbitrary code from source distributions during dependency resolution, without warning or consent. Pipask retrieves metadata through PyPI's JSON API first, then checks repository popularity, download counts, package age, and known vulnerabilities before allowing installation. It presents you with a pretty report and asks for you consent with installation, giving you control over what code runs on your system. More details in the intro blog post:…

I am excited to share pippy, which allows users to create configurable pipelines using Github Actions. If you have used Azure pipelines, in summary, this would be Azure Pipelines meets Github Actions. Cloud version: https://app.pippy.dev/login (closed beta) I am also open sourcing command line version: https://github.com/nixmade/pippy. Key features: - Automatic Rollback - Datadog Monitoring - Pause/Resume The product is built using open source orchestrator. Orchestrator: https://github.com/nixmade/orchestrator Orchestrator allows…

Hi, the main motivation of this small personal project is the ability to build Postgres-backed python apps that remain fully pip-installable despite the dependency, while saving your users any need to setup Postgres if they don't have it. It also helps me, as a developer, to not have to remember how to set up postgres, which I find is one main barrier to using it for small stuff. It's a little project of mine that may be helpful to more people. I'm curious to hear your feedback (ps. I know about SQLite, but sometimes you want/need to build against postgres)

About a month ago I started a suprisingly-not-that tricky project to build an experimental python repl that I could use instead of bash as a daily shell in windows, mac or linux. It"s more hack-for-exploration than a production ready shell, but here it is! Hope somebody finds it anywhere near as interesting to check out as I found making it. Disclaimer: I know about xonsh and love it (if you haven't heard of it, google it). This project is more pure python and less python and bash interacting - see the readme for more details.

I’ve been working on Pyra for the past few months and wanted to start sharing it in public. Right now it’s focused on the core package/project management workflow: Python installs, init, add/remove, lockfiles, env sync, and running commands in the managed env. The bigger thing I’m exploring is whether Python could eventually support a more cohesive toolchain story overall, more in the direction of Bun: not just packaging, but maybe over time testing, tasks, notebooks, and other common workflow tools feeling like one system instead of a bunch of separate pieces. It’s still early,…

Hello all, Very excited to share this project with you all! Panoptisch scans your Python file or module to find it's imports (aka dependencies) and recursively does so for all dependencies and sub-dependencies. It then generates a dependency tree in JSON for you to parse and enforce import policies. Supply chain attacks are no joke, and this is one way to transparently analyze your dependencies to see if any malicious imports are taking place. For example, your yaml parser, nor it's sub-dependencies should import socket, or sys. Panoptisch is in early stages, with known limitations (for…

It currently supports Linux as of now. You can use this package to tinker with many things. Let's say, if you want to make a custom notification system, like if your website is down, you can make a blink notification with it. MacOS support is underway. I haven't tested Windows yet, I don't use it anymore btw. In future, if this package reaches nice growth, I'll be happy to make a similar Rust crate for it.

Curdling is a package installer for Python just like pip. However, its concurrent design makes it much much faster than pip.
