Do you plan to support platform-agnostic lockfiles? From the wording it sounds like "yes" but also "this is a feature not a bug." Which is it?
Checksum verification and portable lockfiles are kind of table stakes for me, which is why I use poetry everywhere possible. I can't give up correctness for speed.
sidenote: this would be super useful as a library so I could plug it into build systems. Managing python dependencies in standards-compliant ways is a pain, so shelling out to tools like poetry and pip are used even though it would be nicer to write that code eg in Rust and just use the parts you care about.
- charliermarsh 3y agoYes, we absolutely want to support platform-agnostic lockfiles. Very important thing. The "feature not a bug" tone is probably because we intentionally limited the scope of this release to _not_ support platform-agnostic resolution, since it adds a lot of complexity (and we were still able to ship something that's immediately useful for those that rely on pip and pip-tools today).
