PyPI repository limitations

• PyPI does not provide any way to list the packages worth being proposed, so only the most downloaded packages (the 500 first ones by default, according to https://hugovk.dev/top-pypi-packages/) are listed in the extension index (the regular extension search). Any other package can still be found by searching without the index, or installed from its identifier.

• Only the packages providing a wheel without native code (like py3-none-any) can be installed: packages only published as source distributions or containing native code are not supported.

• Versions, dependencies and compatibility are evaluated for the actual Python version implemented by GraalPy, and optional dependencies (extras) are never installed.

PyPI repository configuration

The following properties can be set in xwiki.properties:

• pypi.popularPackages.count: the number of most downloaded packages listed in the extension index (500 by default, 0 to list all the PyPI packages, which means resolving hundreds of thousands of packages).
• pypi.popularPackages.url: the location of the list of the most downloaded packages, in the format of https://hugovk.dev/top-pypi-packages/ (the list published on GitHub by default).
