zerodep
Zero-dependency, single-file Python implementations of popular libraries — stdlib only, benchmarked for performance parity, Python 3.10+.
零依赖、单文件的 Python 常用库实现 —— 仅使用标准库，性能对标主流库，支持 Python 3.10+。
Quick Start
pip install zerodep # install the CLI
zerodep add yaml retry # copy modules into your project
from yaml import load, dump
data = load("name: Alice\nage: 30")
print(data) # {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 30}
Each module is a self-contained single .py file — copy it into your project and import. No pip install needed at runtime.
Modules
Modules span Agent Protocols, Web & Networking, Data Formats, Data Validation, Text & Markup, Search & Retrieval, Configuration, CLI & Terminal, Security, and Infrastructure & Tools.
See the full module list for details, versions, and benchmarks.
Versioning
Releases are automated via the Release workflow — lint, test, bump module versions, tag, and create a GitHub Release in one step.
