PyDist is specifically for Python packages, so it's 1) a better fit in this niche (for example, it mirrors PyPI so you can install public and private packages through a single index, and you won't be broken by packages deleted from PyPI), and 2) it's much cheaper if you don't need everything else Artifactory offers.
- sl1ck731 7y agoI believe Artifactory proxies and caches PyPi as well via remote repos.
- alexbecker 7y agoAh, looks like you can set that up. But it's not as convenient, because 1) you have to provision the remote repository and 2) instead of transparently installing from PyPI, you have to specify the remote repository each time you install from it.
- jbaruch_s 7y agoIt is exactly as convenient (if not more). You set up a set of 3 repositories (local for your modules, remove to proxy the PyPI, and virtual, which unifies them under a single URL (which solves the #2 you mentioned). So, both points are incorrect.
