  Cinder is Meta's internal performance-oriented production version of CPython. (by facebookincubator)

  

> correction: the documentation does mention the lock: https://github.com/facebookincubator/cinder/blob/f60897df9f6...

That's unchanged from the upstream CPython repo.

• Pyston

  22 2,482 2.6 Python

  A faster and highly-compatible implementation of the Python programming language.

  

I wonder if they are in touch with kmod or tried pyston: https://blog.pyston.org/.

• 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

  Python packaging and dependency management made easy

  

FYI: [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/) is actually close to something like npm.

• Cinder

  26 5,240 5.9 C++

  Cinder is a community-developed, free and open source library for professional-quality creative coding in C++.

• pipx

  38 8,785 9.2 Python

  Install and Run Python Applications in Isolated Environments

  

For the case of Python packages which are primarily exposing a command line script, alluded in the `start|build|whatever`, there is [pipx](https://github.com/pipxproject/pipx).

• Pyjion

  4 1,439 4.0 C++

There are articles like https://instagram-engineering.com/dismissing-python-garbage-... which seem to confirm some problems. One of the people involved with this Cinder project was an original author of https://github.com/microsoft/Pyjion (it's now being revamped by a new dev.) Dino had deep .NET/CLR implementation experience and had been the lead for IronPython which I think spawned the interest in perf improvements through Cinder. I hope this effort is more successful for him.
