Pdm

PDM - Python Dependency Manager

I use pdm to manage most of my Python projects. It's a fantastic tool for managing environments, dependencies, builds, and package publishing. PDM is similar in functionality to poetry, which I have also used and liked. My main reasons for preferring pdm over poetry are:

• Scripts. It is so useful being able to define a [tool.pdm.scripts] section in my pyproject.toml, and being able to script long/repeated things like alembic commands or project execution scripts is so handy.
• Dependency resolution
• I had almost no problems with Poetry. I've had no problems with PDM
• Does things in a more Pythonic way than poetry (reference)

Most of my notes and code snippets will assume pdm is the dependency manager for a given project.
