Astral folks that are around - there seems to be a bit of confusion in the product page that the blog post makes a little more clear.

> The next step in Python packaging

The headline is the confusing bit I think - "oh no, another tool already?"

IMO you should lean into stating this is going to be a paid product (answering how you plan to make money and become sustainable), and highlight that this will help solve private packaging problems.

I'm excited by this announcement by the way. Setting up scalable private python registries is a huge pain. Looking forward to it!



Thanks for the feedback!


The combination of

– “client (uv) and server (pyx)” and

– “You can use it to host your own internal packages, or as an accelerated, configurable frontend to public sources like PyPI and the PyTorch index.”

is what really helped me understand what pyx aims to be.


I would also put this list of issues that this fixes higher. It makes it more obvious what the point is. (And also a setuptools update literally broke our company CI last week so I was like "omg yes" at that point.)
