Kedro is an open-sourced Python framework for creating maintainable and modular data science code.

Kedro

Hi!  I'm starting a new project up and my business partner wants to use kedro for it.  I'm not super happy about being forced to use pip as opposed to something like pixi or poetry.  Is there an official way to use a different package manager?

What are you being forced to use pip for? Kedro template was updated to be compatible with a lot more package managers over a year ago: <https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro/pull/4263|https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro/pull/4263>

If you're finding particular deficiencies, might be able to help investigate.

I guess I'm just confused at there being a requirements.txt file

Ah. You can delete it. :grinning: ~(I'm pretty sure)~

If it were up to me, I'd have killed requirements.txt a while ago :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: <https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro/issues/4116#issuecomment-2312396290|https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro/issues/4116#issuecomment-2312396290>

But right now it's there for the people who are newer to Python and more accustomed to using it

But pyproject.toml doesn't depend on it
