  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • rye

    a Hassle-Free Python Experience

  • nix

    Nix, the purely functional package manager

  • I believe a tool that can hold all dependencies (such as Nix) is a true solution for this kind of 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.

  • nixpkgs

    Nix Packages collection & NixOS

  • pytorch and tensorflow are nightmare packages with tons of non-python implicit requirements: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/python-modules/torch/default.nix

  • huak

    My experimental python package manager.

  • mamba-how-to

    Using Mamba-forge for Python environment management

  • It's still conda, but mamba-forge with conda-forge as the source has solved almost all my problems. I even wrote a quick "how-to": https://github.com/Paradoxdruid/mamba-how-to

  • Poetry

    Python packaging and dependency management made easy

  • Poetry won’t install dependencies that are already present in the env. However, one issue is that build artifacts are typically included in the version for packages installed from conda-forge, which poetry doesn’t recognise as the same version. The workaround is to run ‘find $CONDA_PREFIX -name “direct_url.json” -delete’. Note that this corrupts the conda env so you might not be able to use conda to make changes to the environment anymore, so definitely make sure you don’t run this while base is activated!

  • governance

    The Conda & Conda-Incubator Governance Policy (by conda-incubator)

  • As detailed at the top of its wiki page, it was spun out and now has its own governance model.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • poetry-plugin-export

    Poetry plugin to export the dependencies to various formats

  • that said this export plugin for requirements.txt files made life a lot easier
