Pixi as a backend to work with the conda ecosystem

[FloLangenfeld]

Hey,

I wish to use the python-polylith to dev a python library, but mostly based on the conda ecosystem as some of the dependencies are not available on PyPI.
I am currently using pixi to manage my environments. It handles a lockfile in YAML format, for reproducibility. I've a quick prototype that read in this lockfile (relying on the conda packages naming convention to extract the packages' names and versions), so that commands like poly libs or poly check work as expected (i.e. the imports versus packages from the lockfile comparison works or the missing libraries are listed).

I may open a PR (would need an extra unit test and maybe a bit of documentation on top of what I've done so far) if you are interested yet another backend?

Hi @FloLangenfeld, You are very much welcome to open a PR! I wasn't aware of Pixi and have not used Conda before either. This sounds like a nice addition 🤩

Hello @DavidVujic ,
Happy to hear that! Let's do it, then ;-)
I will open the PR today or tomorrow (depending on my workload).
