Curdling – A faster Python package installer

In plain words

Curdling is a command-line tool for finding, building, and managing Python package dependencies. It functions as an alternative to pip and easy_install, designed for developers who need faster package installation. The tool uses concurrent processing to execute tasks asynchronously, delivering significant speed improvements over traditional installers. It helps applications start up and run smoothly by handling dependency management efficiently.

Curdling is a command line tool for managing Python packages. It was designed to find, build and cache all the dependencies your application needs to start up and run smoothly. A solid concurrency model allows curdling to execute tasks asynchronously, resulting in a considerable improve in speed over pip and easy_install . The content of this website is divided into two main parts. The Usage teaches you how to use with curdling to manage your packages. The Design and Implementation section shows in depth how curdling works. Pip is awesome! I’ve been using it for managing my Python packages for a while now. However, its code base is just too complex, which makes it hard to iterate fast…from clarete.github.io

  Pypipe – A Python command-line tool for pipeline processing2023 · github.com · ▲213

  pypipe is a command-line tool for writing data pipelines in Python. When working with data processing in the terminal, I often find myself wanting to pass the output of commands to Python for further processing. In such cases, one can either write one-liners or create regular Python scripts and connect them through pipes. However, using pypipe makes this process more convenient and efficient.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
