- Project mention: The ancient monuments saluting the winter solstice | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-12-22
Love it, bookmarked.
I first saw this idea at https://jmw.name/projects/linear-clock/ and then later I wrote a TUI version for myself
I had tickmarks for stuff (when to go to bed to sleep for 7.5h and wake up near sunrise, things like that). I was working on adding a config file format.
Then I lost the project due to a mishap with a pipx flag... https://github.com/pypa/pipx/issues/1324#issuecomment-211885... ;_; o7
One day maybe I'll come back and do it in Rust.
- Project mention: Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-10-29
As of half a year ago with pip 25.1, it can install from "dependency groups" listed in pyproject.toml: https://ichard26.github.io/blog/2025/04/whats-new-in-pip-25....
Pip also generates PEP 751 lockfiles, and installing from those is on the roadmap still (https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/13334).
venv is lower-level tooling. Literally all it does is create a virtual environment โ the same kind that uv creates and manages. There's nothing to "integrate".
-
PEP723 is also supported by pipx and hatch, even though uv is (deservedly) getting all the attention these days.
Others like pip-tools have support in the roadmap (https://github.com/jazzband/pip-tools/issues/2027)

pip-audit
Audits Python environments, requirements files and dependency trees for known security vulnerabilities, and can automatically fix them
Project mention: Debian's approach to Rust โ Dependency handling (2022) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-26This is incorrect on multiple levels:
* Comparing the two in this regard is a category error: Debian offers a curated index, and PyPI doesn't. Debian has a trusted set of packagers and package reviewers; PyPI is open to the public. They're fundamentally different models with different goals.
* PyPI does offer a security feed for packages[1], and there's an official tool[2] that will tell you when an installed version of a package is known to be vulnerable. But this doesn't give PyPI the ability to patch things for you; per above, that's something it fundamentally isn't meant to do.
