PYX: The next step in Python packaging

Probably the more useful blog post: https://astral.sh/blog/introducing-pyx

I wonder whether it will have a flat namespace that everyone competes over or whether the top-level keys will be user/project identifiers of some sort. I hope the latter.

As I said a couple weeks ago, they're gonna have to cash out at some point. The move won't be around Uv -- it'll be a protected private PyPi or something.

Now what do we have here?

Been waiting to see what Astral would do first (with regards to product). Seems like a mix of artifactory and conda? artifactory providing a package server and conda trying to fix the difficulty that comes from Python packages with compiled components or dependencies, mostly solved by wheels, but of course PyTorch wheels requiring specific CUDA can still be a mess that conda fixes

Pyx is just a registry, just like Pypi, or did I misunderstood it?

Been waiting for something like this to make it easier to manage multi-package projects.

Honey wake up, new Astral project just dropped.
