Package Management

  1. pip

    The Python package installer

    Project mention: notatallshaw/nab: PubGrub-based dependency resolver for Python packages | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-09-11

    Relevant pip issue: "Replace resolvelib with nab-resolve to do dependency resolution" @ https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/13993

    This would be a pretty big upgrade to pip and one that I'm looking forward to.

  3. PDM

    A modern Python package and dependency manager supporting the latest PEP standards

  4. pip-tools

    A set of tools to keep your pinned Python dependencies fresh.

    Project mention: Postmortem: AI Incident Classifier Failed Due to Biased Training Data and Scikit-Learn 1.5 | dev.to | 2026-05-05

    Use dependency pinning tools like Poetry (https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry) or pip-tools (https://github.com/jazzband/pip-tools) to lock all transitive dependencies, not just top-level ones. Before upgrading any ML library, audit the release notes for breaking changes to default parameters: Scikit-Learn maintains a detailed changelog at https://scikit-learn.org/stable/whats\_new.html. For critical pipelines, add a pre-commit hook that checks for unpinned dependencies or unrecognized default parameters. We reduced our dependency-related incidents by 92% after implementing this practice.

  5. conda

    A system-level, binary package and environment manager running on all major operating systems and platforms.

  6. pypiserver

    Minimal PyPI server for uploading & downloading packages with pip/easy_install

  7. safety

    Safety checks Python dependencies for known security vulnerabilities and suggests the proper remediations for vulnerabilities detected.

  8. conan-center-index

    Project mention: Reconciling 15 OSS Vulnerability Databases: What They Actually Cover | dev.to | 2026-04-09

    vuln_id is the primary identifier that source uses — a GHSA-xxxx, CVE-xxxx, PYSEC-xxxx, RUSTSEC-xxxx, GO-xxxx, or MAL-xxxx. aliases is a semicolon-joined list of cross-database identifiers the source knows about. purl is the Package URL — a canonical string like pkg:pypi/tensorflow or pkg:maven/io.grpc/grpc-protobuf that uniquely names a package across every public ecosystem.
