  • Beginning Python: Project Management With PDM
    4 projects | dev.to | 12 Oct 2023
    PDM is a solution that allows for easy creation and management of python projects. Some of the key features that will improve the management of python projects include:
  • A question about good practice when using docker.
    2 projects | /r/dataengineering | 26 May 2023
    You'd need a proper dependencies management tool like PDM or Poetry to exhaustively resolve and lock down all the transitive dependencies if you want to have anything closed to reproducible build.
  • pdm-dotenv: Simplify Your Project's Environment Variable Management
    3 projects | /r/Python | 16 Apr 2023
    Are you working on a Python project that uses pdm for dependency management and dotenv for local environment variable and secrets management? Do you find it frustrating when CLI tools like pgcli don't automatically pick up your .env file, forcing you to resort to npm install -g dotenv-cli? I've got a more convenient solution for you!
  • PEP 582 rejected - consensus among the community needed
    7 projects | /r/Python | 28 Mar 2023
    I first learned about PDM from a blog post written by one of the PDM contributers. The post was about OOPifying argparse to allow for easy creation/modification of subcommands that exist as their own classes/files, and to avoid maintaining a single long script with an endless number of subparser.add_argument(...) lines.
  • PEP 704 – Require virtual environments by default for package installers
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Mar 2023
    That's more or less what PEP 582 plans to do, but it's been stalled and mired in discussions for years. The PDM tool went ahead and implemented it though if you want to use it: https://github.com/pdm-project/pdm

    I'm liking PDM for a while now. Quicker than Poetry and built according to the Python package spec in mind and not as an afterthought. While it was originally meant to work with PEP 582, it works with virtual environments too (now default).
