What is Corellia

Corellia provides a unified CLI workflow for Python project management.

Corellia orchestrates Python version management, virtual environments, dependencies, project scripts and packaging through a single configuration file.

Instead of manually coordinating tools such as:

• pyenv
• venv
• pip
• build
• git

Corellia provides a consistent project-oriented interface designed to simplify setup, synchronization and packaging workflows.

---

Why Corellia

Python projects often evolve into fragmented workflows:

• Python versions are managed separately
• virtual environments are manually recreated
• dependencies drift across machines
• scripts are undocumented or inconsistent
• packaging metadata becomes duplicated
• build workflows differ between projects

Corellia centralizes these concerns into a single source of truth:

corellia.toml

This allows projects to remain more reproducible, easier to synchronize, and more consistent across development environments.

Corellia does not aim to replace tools like pyenv, pip or venv. Instead, it orchestrates them through a unified workflow.

Features

• Python version management integration (pyenv)
• automatic virtual environment management
• dependency synchronization
• project script management
• reproducible project configuration
• package build workflow
• structured project layouts
• framework-aware scaffolding (experimental)

---

Installation

Requirements

• Python 3.12+
• pyenv
• Git (optional, but recommended)

Install from PyPI

pipx install corellia-cli

Install from source

git clone https://github.com/lorenzo-petrecca/Corellia.git
cd Corellia
pipx install -e .

[!WARNING] Corellia is currently under active development. Workflows and configuration structures may evolve between releases.

Quick Start

Create a project

core create

The command interactively generates a new project and creates:

• project structure
• virtual environment
• corellia.toml
• Git repository
• initial dependency setup

Synchronize the environment

core sync

This command recreates the local project environment from the configuration declared inside corellia.toml.

Add dependencies

core add <package>

Dependencies are tracked directly inside corellia.toml, for example:

core add requests

produces:

[dependencies]
requests = "2.32.3"

Execute project scripts

core run check

Scripts are declared directly inside the configuration:

[scripts.check]
command = "python --version"
mode = "strict"
description = "Check Python environment"

You can list available scripts with:

core run --list

Build a distributable package

core init-build
core build

Corellia generates a pyproject.toml artifact and builds the project using the standard Python packaging workflow.

---

Examples

Workflow example

core create
core add requests
core sync
core run check
core init-build
core build

Configuration example

# corellia.toml

[project]
name = "myproject"
version = "0.1.0"
python = "3.12.10"
category = "package"
description = "Example project"

[environment]
manager = "pyenv"
venv = ".venv"

[dependencies]
requests = "2.32.3"

[scripts.dev]
command = "python main.py"
mode = "strict"
description = "Run development script"

Documentation

Full documentation is available in the /docs directory.

[!Warning] The documentation may not be fully up to date with the latest versions

---

Current Status

Corellia is currently focused on stabilizing the core project workflow experience for the package category. Some areas of the project are still considered experimental or only partially implemented.

[!IMPORTANT] Partially supported

• app project workflows
• deploy project workflows
• framework-specific integrations
• advanced build metadata generation

[!CAUTION] Not Yet Supported

• Windows support
• dependency structure validation inside corellia.toml
• standalone executable builds
• advanced deployment workflows

[!NOTE] The internal configuration model and project structure may continue to evolve during the current development phase.
