To be pedantic, Python has exactly zero official package managers. Nothing in packaging is “official” (well maybe distutils is but it’s also officially deprecated).
- faho 5y agoPip ships with the official cpython interpreter, to the point there's even an "ensurepip" module in the standard library to install it if someone ripped it out. There are multiple PEPs about pip. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0453/ https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0453/ makes it as official as it gets.
- orf 5y agoThat’s not true at all. Pip is official, pyproject is official, the wheel format is also official, etc etc
- uranusjr 5y agoThe latter two are correct (and likely most of your etc.), but pip is not official. pip maintainers only claim it is “PyPA recommended”, and PEP 453 is extremely careful to only say “officially recommended” (by CPython core maintainers). I told you this is pedantic! Source: I am a pip maintainer and a PyPA member.
