Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Understanding Dependencies in Programming
You can manage dependencies in Python with the package manager pip, which comes pre-installed with Python. Pip allows you to install and uninstall Python packages, and it uses a requirements.txt file to keep track of which packages your project depends on. However, pip does not have robust dependency resolution features or isolate dependencies for different projects; this is where tools like pipenv and poetry come in. These tools create a virtual environment for each project, separating the project's dependencies from the system-wide Python environment and other projects.

Uv: Python Packaging in Rust
Has anyone else been paying attention to how hilariously hard it is to package PyTorch in poetry?

Boring Python: dependency management (2022)
Based on this comment 5 days ago[0], it's working? I'm not sure didn't dig in too far but based on that comment it seems fair to say that it's not fully Poetry's fault because torch removed hashes (which poetry needs to be effective) for a while only recently adding it back in.
Not sure where I would stand if I fully investigated it tho.

Fun with Avatars: Crafting the core engine | Part. 1
We will be running this project in Python 3.10 on Mac/Linux, and we will use Poetry to manage our dependencies. Later, we will bundle our app into a container using docker for deployment.

Python Packaging, One Year Later: A Look Back at 2023 in Python Packaging
Here are the two main packaging issues I run into, specifically when using Poetry:
1) Lack of support for building extension modules (as mentioned by the article). There is a workaround using an undocumented feature [0], which I've tried, but ultimately decided it was not the right approach. I still use Poetry, but build the extension as a separate step in CI, rather than kludging it into Poetry.
2) Lack of support for offline installs [1], e.g. being able to download the dependencies, copy them to another machine, and perform the install from the downloaded dependencies (similar to using "pip --no-index --find-links=."). Again, you can work around this (by using "poetry export --with-credentials" and "pip download" for fetching the dependencies, then firing up pypiserver [2] to run a local PyPI server on the offline machine), but ideally this would all be a first class feature of Poetry, similar to how it is in pip.
I don't have the capacity to create Pull Requests for addressing these issues with Poetry, and I'm very grateful for the maintainers and those who do contribute. Instead, on the linked issues I share my notes on the matter, in the hope that it may at least help others and potentially get us closer to a solution.
Regardless, I'm sticking with Poetry for now. Though to be fair, the only other Python packaging tools I've used extensively are Pipenv and pip/setuptools. It's time consuming to thoroughly try out these other packaging tools, and is generally lower priority than developing features/fixing bugs, so it's helpful to read about the author's experience with these other tools, such as PDM and Hatch.

Introducing Flama for Robust Machine Learning APIs
We believe that poetry is currently the best tool for this purpose, besides of being the most popular one at the moment. This is why we will use poetry to manage the dependencies of our project throughout this series of posts. Poetry allows you to declare the libraries your project depends on, and it will manage (install/update) them for you. Poetry also allows you to package your project into a distributable format and publish it to a repository, such as PyPI. We strongly recommend you to learn more about this tool by reading the official documentation.

Navigating the Release Journey of txtToWeb
For the release of txtToWeb, I opted for Poetry as my release tool and TestPyPI as the package registry. Poetry's simplicity and TestPyPI's environment for testing releases were crucial factors in my decision.

PSA: conda-libmamba-solver can cut two hours off of your Anaconda install, but has only 47 GitHub stars. It deserves more praise.
Mambaforge!
See the section on the miniforge github repo. It's just like miniconda/miniforge in that its quite a small download vs full-fat Anaconda.

A quick guide to using mamba-forge for python virtual environment management
Just to further clarify: you don't need mamba to avoid the Anaconda distribution. The place you get mambaforge also supplies (and originally supplied) miniforge, which is miniconda with conda-forge set as the default channel. All the *forge installers do in this regard is automatically set conda-forge as the default (and only) channel, which is something one can do manually with miniconda.

How to get the best Conda environment experience in Codespaces
Tip 1: To use less of your Codespaces resources start with a smaller image like Miniconda or Miniforge and install only what you need.

Using my Steam Deck as my main personal Desktop PC.
gcc yes but IIRC it's missing a lot of build-essential, and the collection of available headers and development libraries is fairly small. I used conda / mambaforge to build my own toolchain, and I know others have had succeess with Homebrew or pacman - r.
Since you mentioned Homebrew, I'll shout out conda / mamba as well. While it was developed for data science and numerical python, conda-forge has a surprising breadth of packages, and I managed to get the entire gcc toolchain plus development libraries installed, all not only in the userspace, but isolated to a single virtual environment.
Talk about easy mode. conda mamba or poetry, and you're done. I think SteamOS even ships with vim and not just vi, but if you need a different version, it's available via conda.
What are some alternatives?
mamba - The Fast Cross-Platform Package Manager
Pipenv - Python Development Workflow for Humans.
PDM - A modern Python package and dependency manager supporting the latest PEP standards
hatch - Modern, extensible Python project management
pyenv - Simple Python version management
pip-tools - A set of tools to keep your pinned Python dependencies fresh.
virtualenv - Virtual Python Environment builder
conda - A system-level, binary package and environment manager running on all major operating systems and platforms.
pipx - Install and Run Python Applications in Isolated Environments
flit - Simplified packaging of Python modules
