arxpm 1.8.0

Project and package manager for Arx workspaces

arxpm

arxpm is the Arx project manager and workspace tool.

arx compiles .x files and resolves project-aware imports using build.src_dir. arxpm owns .arxproject.toml rendering, project layout inference and validation, default target selection, Python environment provisioning (via uv), and user-facing workflow commands.

Compatibility

• Python 3.10+ is supported.
• On Python 3.10, arxpm uses tomli as a compatibility fallback for tomllib.

Architecture

• models.py: typed manifest models.
• manifest.py: .arxproject.toml parsing and rendering.
• layout.py: effective package/mode resolution and filesystem validation.
• _toml.py: TOML parser compatibility shim (tomllib/tomli).
• environment.py: backend-neutral environment protocol plus venv, conda, and system implementations that install packages via uv pip install --python <interp>.
• credentials.py: keyring-backed publish credential storage.
• project.py: project workflows (init, add, install, build, run, pack, publish).
• healthcheck.py: manifest, layout, environment, and toolchain checks.
• cli.py: Typer command layer.

Commands (v0)

• arxpm init

Development

mamba env create --file conda/dev.yaml
conda activate arxpm
poetry install --with dev
pytest

The examples/ directory ships several sample projects:

• examples/hello-arx/ — minimal app project at src/hello_arx/.
• examples/multi-module/ — multi-file app project whose main.x imports and calls functions from sibling .x modules. See the Multi-file Projects guide.
• examples/local_lib/ + examples/local-consumer/ — a library and a consumer that live side by side on disk so the consumer resolves imports against the library's .x files. See Local Packages for the supported layout and the current boundary around installed libraries.

Integration tests that compile and execute the examples live in tests/test_examples_integration.py and are gated on arx and uv being on PATH. Run them with:

pytest -m integration
