pixi is an incredibly powerful packaging tool - this is just a small taste of what's possible.
If you're put off by the pixi.toml file, it's important to note that it also Just Works with the dependencies specified in your pyproject.toml instead - you just have to add a [tool.pixi.workspace] table!

Did you know that Pixi directly supports PyPI dependencies?
Here are some tips on how to use them.
