pixi is an incredibly powerful packaging tool - this is just a small taste of what's possible.
If you're put off by the pixi.toml file, it's important to note that it also Just Works with the dependencies specified in your pyproject.toml instead - you just have to add a [tool.pixi.workspace] table!

Did you know that Pixi directly supports PyPI dependencies?
Here are some tips on how to use them.

Anaconda.org and conda adopt sharded repodata! 🚀
CEP 16, introduced by @prefix.dev, splits the massive repodata files into per-project shards. This allows clients to only fetch what they need, resulting in significant speedups!

People get too hung up on SemVer "guarantees".
There are no guarantees. It's just a best efforts basis to convey *some* information to the users of a package.

Versioning software is hard.
• SemVer makes broken promises due to poor orthogonality
• CalVer just simply lacks information
• BreakVer focuses on breaking changes only
• EffVer tries to compress the complex space of impact into a magnitude scale
and ZeroVer mocks the whole situation 😂

A conda package from GIT SOURCE? How?! 🤯 We might have been hinting at "pixi-build", but now we're unveiling what makes it work: pixi build backends. A build backend basically produces a "recipe" from language-specific metadata, and pixi build orchestrates the build.

`uv` is great if all you want is a faster `pip`, but `conda` packages are so much more powerful and versatile and `pixi` really leverages that whilst providing ~everything that `uv` does.... because it includes the `uv` codebase for managing wheels.
For Python package management I use a mixture of pixi, uv and conda depending on the task I'm doing.
I wrote up a long form post about the history of these tools, why each one exists, and why I settled on these choices in my workflow.
