About

A Python package manager written in Rust. The Cargo for Python.

⚠️ Disclaimer: huak is in an experimental state.

Huak aims to support a base workflow for developing Python packages and projects. The process is linear and purpose oriented, establishing better familiarization with the steps.

See the design doc for more workflow details.

The goal is to create an opinionated tool to support a reliably inviting onboarding experience for the Python ecosystem, that feels responsive and snappy to use.

Note that huak activate is currently only partially supported on Windows. See the related issue for more details.

Documentation

If you've cloned the repository, run cargo doc --open.

Some documentation for 0.0.x releases will land on docs.rs. Around the 0.1.0 release I'd like to have more robust documentation about Huak for users, contributors, and the curious.

Goals

Besides some of my own experience with the Python ecosystem, there are a few additional guiding principles steering the development of Huak:

1. Open to open source 📚

Open source has done a lot for me both from a tooling and professional development perspective. I'd love to offer Huak as a way to help onboard the absolute and relative newcomers (like myself).

2. Just use huak ✨

I love Rust's onboarding experience. Cargo has played a large role. It's a great tool for newcomers to use to get their feet wet. Huak can provide the same experience for Python.

3. Fast ⚡️

There's room for faster tooling in the Python ecosystem. One of the guiding principles will be "Is this the fastest it can be?".

4. Python 🤝 Rust

JavaScript has seen a "Going Rust" sub-community pop up. Python seems to be getting one too. Huak would be able to fuel contributions to the intersection of these two languages.
