This has been a request for a few years now: |

This is really disappointing. Given how popular Python has become, this decision is pretty surprising. Looks like we'll need to consider alternatives like Artifactory. |

Agreed. Especially seeing how simple the pypi repo api is. Alternatively it is possible to install packages directly through git access: |

It really should be given the fact that packaging Python packages has become so common and standard in many projects. Providing a proper, official way to do this will boost Github's packaging support 👍> I don't know if this post (given its age) is being monitored by anyone from the Github team ... |

This a superb idea, this will help my organization to not depend on external services such as JFROG and keep all our artifacts in one place. |

Thank you for taking the time to do this. It's unfortunate that this won't be happening soon. Maybe in 2024 ... |

This is a fundamentally critical piece that is preventing a lot of companies from migrating away from GitLab, which has an excellent implementation of this. Quite shocking that Engineering is so blasé about it . |

Couldn't agree more. Microsoft, this is a must have for many data science teams before moving their codebase to GitHub! |

Welcome to the time capsule! It's now just a few weeks before 2024 and the community would like you to know that this is still a very desirable feature!!! Thanks, GitHub!!! |

It's currently top Packages Discussion (by a lot) and that still doesn't mean anything to GitHub. |

Disappointing to say the least. My company considered migrating from JFrog Artifactory Cloud, but not having Python support makes it a non-starter. We see TBs of data transfer in packages every month and many tens of thousands of package artifacts would be added to our Enterprise Cloud subscription. Not a small customer. |

Does anyone know if it's possible to dockerize a python package and import it into another project? I ask this because, there is a container registry for pushing dockerized images in the github packages resource. Is this a possible easy way to do this? |

Not directly related to your question, but I'll add it just in case. You can install pip packages directly from the git repo https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/topics/vcs-support/ |

Only works for source-only packages. If you need to build anything, it means you need to have a toolchain where you install which is not very safe in production, not very scalable and error prone. |

@sourceful-karlson does this solve the problem of not having anything listed under "Packages" in a Github repo that publishes to PyPi?

Hi, I'm just another GitHub user—maybe even a zealot. I need GitHub to support something that allows me to separate sources from compiled artifacts in Earth's second most popular programming language. Thank you |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

I also need to host internal python packages and would really like to use github actions for ci/cd. Surely would be nice to just use the same platform that I'm already using for docker containers and npm packages. How on earth can this not a like a top priority for the most popular language? |

They are collaborating with JFrog (Artifactory) so I don't think this will be ever a thing. |

How is this not a thing? Why isn't this high priority? I can't believe GitHub doesn't do this, surely this functionality is a given. Maybe I'm naive and Python is just a small toy language that is scarcely used anywhere, or maybe GitHub knows something we don't 👀 |

Unbelievable how this conversation and opinions have been ignored for so long, I agree Python packages is a simple and important feature. I think I am better off looking for alternatives considering the time this thread has been active with no action, disappointed on GitHub and its "strategic direction" response, which indeed sounds to come from corporate minds out of touch with the development space. |

You've put it perfectly. However, I'm wondering, how many paying clients have actually chosen different service because of that particular deficiency? |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

GitLab is often chosen over GitHub for on-premise deployments because you get so many things out of the box such as Python package management. Our organization's tool of choice is GitHub, but these missing features make it a tougher sell to partners we work with that want an easy way to stand everything up. |

We've had to resort to using CodeArtifact on AWS, which is non-ideal. Logins last 12 hours max, and are per-project, so once per work day, a developer's build will fail, and they have to remember to run the command to log into CodeArtifact. |

We're in the same boat @datalogics-kam. And considering how little love AWS is showing their Code* suite, I'm not thrilled about this dependency. |

When is this going to be implemented? According to the TIOBE index, Python is the most popular language, with a 20.17% usage rate. I do not comprehend why GitHub does not implement a package system for Python. This is very disappointing and must be resolved. I expected that GitHub would have better integration with Python. |

I think the main issue is that GitHub has something else coming for packages to replace the current implementation. |

Seems like GitHub has signalled they aren't going to develop their GitHub Packages solution - they have a partnership with JFrog https://github.blog/news-insights/product-news/github-and-jfrog/ |

Very interesting. I am however a bit uncomfortable with a third-party solution. I would prefer if GitHub Packages was updated. And also, could anyone please explain it to me? It's not explained very well in the article. |

Also, surprisingly GitHub has not taken any action in this respect, and JFrog integration with packages still appears to not exist. Any action in the near future? |

Right now you could only upload to pypi or leave it like that. I want to upload my packages to GitHub packages just like docker, npm, gradle, maven etc. It would be awesome if you could release it in the public beta where users can simply go to feature preview and enable it.
