About PyPI
PyPI, the Python Package Index, is the main public repository for Python libraries and tools. Developers use it to find software and install it with pip or other tools.
What it does
Package authors upload releases, and everyone else can search, read project pages and download files. Each project shows its releases and files, so you can check versions before installing. Guides explain how to package and publish Python code for others to use.
Key features
- Search and browse Python packages
- Release history and downloadable files per project
- Publish your own packages to the index
- Organization accounts for teams
- Guides for installing and packaging code
Who it's for
Python developers who need libraries, package authors who want to share code and teams that manage shared packages through an organization account.
Pricing and good to know
PyPI is free to use and is developed and maintained by the Python Software Foundation and the community. It is supported by sponsors and donations. Packages are published by their authors, so review a project's source and maintainers before adding a dependency. Check the terms of service for the rules on uploads.
