Python Development Master
Project description
PDM - Python Development Master
A modern Python package manager with PEP 582 support. 中文版本说明
What is PDM?
PDM is meant to be a next generation Python package management tool.
It was originally built for personal use. If you feel you are going well
with Pipenv or Poetry and don't want to introduce another package manager,
just stick to it. But if you are missing something that is not present in those tools,
you can probably find some goodness in pdm.
PEP 582 proposes a project structure as below:
foo
__pypackages__
3.8
lib
bottle
myscript.py
There is a __pypackages__ directory in the project root to hold all dependent libraries, just like what npm does.
Read more about the specification here.
Highlights of features
- PEP 582 local package installer and runner, no virtualenv involved at all.
- Simple and relatively fast dependency resolver, mainly for large binary distributions.
- A PEP 517 build backend.
- A full-featured plug-in system.
Why not virtualenv?
The majority of Python packaging tools also act as virtualenv managers to gain the ability to isolate project environments. But things get tricky when it comes to nested venvs: One installs the virtualenv manager using a venv capsulated Python, and create more venvs using the tool which is based on a capsulated Python. One day a minor release of Python is released and one has to check all those venvs and upgrade them if required.
PEP 582, on the other hand, introduces a way to decouple the Python interpreter from project environments. It is a relative new proposal and there are not many tools supporting it (one that does is is pyflow), but it is written with Rust and thus can't get much help from the big Python community. For the same reason it can't act as a PEP 517 backend.
Installation:
PDM requires python version 3.7 or higher.
It is recommended to install pdm in an isolated enviroment, with pipx.
$ pipx install pdm
Or you can install it under a user site:
$ pip install --user pdm
Usage
python -m pdm --help provides helpful guidance.
Docker image
$ docker pull frostming/pdm
FAQ
1. What is put in __pypackages__?
PEP 582 is a draft proposal which still needs a lot of polishing. For instance, it doesn't mention how to manage
CLI executables. PDM makes the decision to put bin and include together with lib under __pypackages__/X.Y.
2. How do I run CLI scripts in the local package directory?
The recommended way is to prefix your command with pdm run. It is also possible to run CLI scripts directly from
the outside, the PDM's installer has already injected the package path to the sys.path in the entry script file.
3. What site-packages will be loaded when using PDM?
Only packages in the local __pypackages__ directory will be loaded. site-packages of Python interpreter isn't loaded.
It is fully isolated.
4. Can I relocate or move the __pypackages__ folder for deployment?
You'd better not. The packages installed inside __pypackages__ are OS dependent. Instead, you should keep pdm.lock
in VCS and do pdm sync on the target environment to deploy.
5. Can I use pdm to manage a Python 2.7 project?
Sure. The pdm itself can be installed under Python 3.7+ only, but it doesn't restrict the Python used by the project.
