Blog post author here – happy to take any questions. We're looking to unify the conda + PyPI ecosystems and build a really nice cross-platform, language independent package manager (which is called pixi).
Are there any gains to be had in just using this for pypi packages (no conda)? Solving for a monorepo with hundreds of packages is the cause of much time lost.
How well does this work for projects that include dependencies that are still reliant on the old setup.py and don't have wheels published?
I sure hope there’s a pnpm-style content addressable storage and space-saving capabilities
Been quite happy with PDM last 6 months, that's pretty fast, how does this stack up?

> The above invocation will automatically download the latest version of pixi, extract it, and move the pixi binary to ~/.pixi/bin. If this directory does not already exist, the script will create it.
