  • PDM

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

  • A bit unrelated, but I have been using pdm (https://pdm.fming.dev/) which is something like Poetry but faster and PEP compliant (!)

  • NumPy

    The fundamental package for scientific computing with Python.

  • Apparently it was wontfixed last year, but maybe it could still be suggested to be an extra, not in the standard package? https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/19591
