pym - python package manager

A package manager for python that works like npm.

Features

• Dependencies are installed locally (per project) with venv in ./python_module

• Directly installed dependencies are added to requirements.txt automatically

• Cross platform: it works on Linux, Mac, and Windows (with git bash)

• This cli tool is a single executable file, you can name it whatever you want, e.g. pym, py, pm, or just p

Why this name?

As inspired by npm (nodejs package manager), I named this tool ppm (python package manager) initially.

Later I checked with pacman (archlinux package manager) and found the package plan9port has already registered an executable named ppm, hence renamed to avoid name clash.

Todo

Look into PEP 582 - Python local packages directory with PDM. Introduction see: this article
