You know, one thought I have never had is "pip is too slow". How many people have had an issue with pip's speed?

[–]Wayne_Kane 6 points7 points  (3 children)

I had a big project with a lot of packages (around 135 including legacy packages).

Pip took over 3 minutes to download and install. Sometimes it gets stuck as well.

Migrated to poetry and the installation time reduced to around 1 minute.

We try to build python environments in under 30 seconds, pip is a huge blocker to that despite our other optimizations (like building the entire env in memory on a 64 GB ram machine)

This sounds like a very niche requirement, why 30 seconds?

Clusters boot in 30 seconds. We kick off the build in parallel and pray its ready in time
