> Python feel like cargo

I am sold. Was thinking of trying out pixie after poetry took whole day and still couldn't resolve deps.

Looks like there are more python package managers that chat apps from Google ?

I hate doing this, but the solution is to reduce the search space for poetry to find a compatible version.

Verbosely install with poetry (-vvv) and note the package it gets stuck on. Find the currently installed version from the lock file and specify it as the minimum in your pyproject.toml file.

The time to find a solution went from 2-4 hours to <90 seconds when I did this a few months ago for a large complex work project.

Pixi is limited in focus to the Conda ecosystem within Python's ecosystem. Rye is not quite what Cargo is to Rust, it's more like a faster Poetry. Both Rye and Pixi are using uv, which aspires to close the gap for Python packaging tools to be the Cargo of Python. Rye will likely fold into UV at some point in the future.
