Hi Kedro team, Now that you've moved everything to project.toml, what not propose using a tool like PDM to manage dependencies within the TOML file so we remove the requirements file as well? Just recently I was cleaning my project with PDM and it was a calm for the chaos.

Anything that supports PEP621 is good in my eyes! https://peps.python.org/pep-0621/

Can be anything that supports and respects TOML.

Poetry still doesn’t support the Python standard https://github.com/python-poetry/roadmap/issues/3

I personally create most of my Kedro projects with PDM already 😄 and I wrote a small tool that can turn any PEP 621-compliant library structure to a Kedro project https://github.com/astrojuanlu/kedro-init @Siavash Sakhavi when you mean "propose using a tool like PDM", do you meen our

kedro new

+ starters?

@Juan Luis mainly as a best practice for dependency management. I was thinking in the docs.

typical horror story from Python packaging... 😅 any opinions on Poetry vs PDM vs Hatch?

I've seen the other two. Didn't use them extensively. I just have a bad memory of using poetry first time I used it. I eventually settled on PDM. Any tool that can help is welcome

I'm personally very happy with PDM 👍🏼

I will add a +1 for PDM, it fits all my needs perfectly, the developer is super responsive, and since it’s PEP621 compliant, switching to any other tool would be mostly a nonissue. @Juan Luis what does your kedro-init tool actually do? I can’t really get it from the readme.

@Iñigo Hidalgo it adds the appropriate

[tool.kedro]

section to

pyproject.toml

, creates

settings.py

, and

pipeline_registry.py

, and creates

conf/{base,local}

I miss Pedram shitposts so much

you can follow him on Linkedin if you’d like

maybe 🙂 but it should follow as the conclusion of https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro/issues/2512 (still to be closed)

the more I think about it - it would be really cool to make it easy for people to define and share add-ons
