I was going to ask how this differs from what PDM is doing, but then I see that it’s “just a bash script” that provides the workflow you’re going for.

PEP 582 [1] is mentioned in the README, which IMHO is the golden path for npm-style project dep management.

I just learnt about PDM when I check for name clash after finished the initial implementation.

PDM is doing what I want, with different (and probably better) approach.

pym is a random idea came out when I read people complained about package management in python in another HN discussion.

I may adopt PDM eventually if it's not more complicated then I'd take. I'll try out it sometime.

As I see peer mentioned the package managing in python is sub-optimal, I've a quick idea to make a simple package manager on top of venv with the DX of npm.
