  • Pipenv

    Python Development Workflow for Humans.

  • I can completely see why using --system makes sense and that's what I started off using. When I hit some problem (I forget what now) I ended up reading that pull request via a couple of places on Stack Overflow so I've been unsure ever since.

  • pip-tools

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

  • i used before pyenv + pyenv-virtualenv and for complement and have a clean venv em every project, (pip-tools)[https://github.com/jazzband/pip-tools] that is older than pipenv and poetry, more faster and maintain the package versions updated, synchronized and without unneeded packages.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • direnv

  • Now I use (direnv)[https://direnv.net/] and the direnv python plugin to install dedicated venvs by one part and mantain pip-tools for package management in every venv.
