Summary: General purpose programming language

Development: https://docs.python.org/devguide/

Documentation: https://www.python.org/doc/versions/

Python is a widely used high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in languages such as C++ or Java. The language provides constructs intended to enable clear programs on both a small and large scale.

We provide some meta packages for convenience. To get a CPython flavour, use

conda install cpython

To get the freethreading build (i.e. without the Global Interpreter Lock - GIL)

conda install python-freethreading

To get the default build (i.e. with the GIL)

conda install python-gil

To enable the use of the experimental JIT compiler in CPython

conda install python-jit

or set the environment variable PYTHON_JIT=1. Note that the JIT support is available for x86_64 builds only.

Installing python

Installing python from the conda-forge channel can be achieved by adding conda-forge to your channels with:

conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --set channel_priority strict

Once the conda-forge channel has been enabled, cpython, libpython-static, python, python-freethreading, python-gil, python-jit can be installed with conda:

conda install cpython libpython-static python python-freethreading python-gil python-jit

or with mamba:

mamba install cpython libpython-static python python-freethreading python-gil python-jit

It is possible to list all of the versions of cpython available on your platform with conda:

conda search cpython --channel conda-forge

or with mamba:

mamba search cpython --channel conda-forge

Alternatively, mamba repoquery may provide more information:

# Search all versions available on your platform:
mamba repoquery search cpython --channel conda-forge

# List packages depending on `cpython`:
mamba repoquery whoneeds cpython --channel conda-forge

# List dependencies of `cpython`:
mamba repoquery depends cpython --channel conda-forge

About conda-forge

Powered by NumFOCUS

conda-forge is a community-led conda channel of installable packages. In order to provide high-quality builds, the process has been automated into the conda-forge GitHub organization. The conda-forge organization contains one repository for each of the installable packages. Such a repository is known as a feedstock.

A feedstock is made up of a conda recipe (the instructions on what and how to build the package) and the necessary configurations for automatic building using freely available continuous integration services. Thanks to the awesome service provided by Azure, GitHub, CircleCI, AppVeyor, Drone, and TravisCI it is possible to build and upload installable packages to the conda-forge anaconda.org channel for Linux, Windows and OSX respectively.

To manage the continuous integration and simplify feedstock maintenance conda-smithy has been developed. Using the conda-forge.yml within this repository, it is possible to re-render all of this feedstock's supporting files (e.g. the CI configuration files) with conda smithy rerender.

For more information please check the conda-forge documentation.

Terminology

feedstock - the conda recipe (raw material), supporting scripts and CI configuration.

conda-smithy - the tool which helps orchestrate the feedstock. Its primary use is in the construction of the CI .yml files and simplify the management of many feedstocks.

conda-forge - the place where the feedstock and smithy live and work to produce the finished article (built conda distributions)

Updating python-feedstock

If you would like to improve the python recipe or build a new package version, please fork this repository and submit a PR. Upon submission, your changes will be run on the appropriate platforms to give the reviewer an opportunity to confirm that the changes result in a successful build. Once merged, the recipe will be re-built and uploaded automatically to the conda-forge channel, whereupon the built conda packages will be available for everybody to install and use from the conda-forge channel. Note that all branches in the conda-forge/python-feedstock are immediately built and any created packages are uploaded, so PRs should be based on branches in forks and branches in the main repository should only be used to build distinct package versions.

In order to produce a uniquely identifiable distribution:

  • If the version of a package is not being increased, please add or increase the build/number.
  • If the version of a package is being increased, please remember to return the build/number back to 0.
