bpy—Blender on PyPI (via) TIL you can “pip install” Blender!
bpy “provides Blender as a Python module”—it’s part of the official Blender project, and ships with binary wheels ranging in size from 168MB to 319MB depending on your platform.
It only supports the version of Python used by the current Blender release though—right now that’s Python 3.10. # 8th September 2023, 3:29 pm
Rye. Armin Ronacher’s take on a Python packaging tool. There are a lot of interesting ideas in this one—it’s written in Rust, configured using pyproject.toml and has some very strong opinions, including completely hiding pip from view and insisting you use “rye add package” instead. Notably, it doesn’t use the system Python at all: instead, it downloads a pre-compiled standalone Python from Gregory Szorc’s python-build-standalone project—the same approach I used for the Datasette Desktop Electron app.
Armin warns that this is just an exploration, with no guarantees of future maintenance—and even has an issue open titled “Should Rye exist?” # 24th April 2023, 4:02 am
Introducing PyPI Organizations. Launched at PyCon US today: Organizations allow packages on the Python Package Index to be owned by a group, not an individual user account. “We’re making organizations available to community projects for free, forever, and to corporate projects for a small fee.”—this is the first revenue generating PyPI feature. # 23rd April 2023, 8:29 pm
