This summer I am working with -the maintainers and the contributors of `pip` to make -the package manager {{pip 825 "download in parallel"}}. - -## What did I do during the community bonding period? - -Aside from bonding with `pip`'s maintainers and contributors as well as -with my mentors, I was also experimenting on the theoretical and technical -obstacles blocking this GSoC project. Pradyun Gedam (a mentor of mine) -suggested making [a proof of concept][] to determine if parallel downloading -can play nicely with ResolveLib_'s abstraction and we are reviewing it -together. On the technical side, we `pip`'s committers are exploring -{{pip 8169 "available options for parallelization"}} and I made an attempt to -{{pip 8320 "make use of Python's standard worker pool in a portable way"}}. - -## Did I get stuck anywhere? - -Yes, of course! Neither of the experiments above is finished as of -this moment. Though, I am optimistic that the issues will not be -real blockers and we will figure that out in the next few days. - -## What is coming up next? - -As planned, this week I am going to refactor the package downloading code -in `pip`. The main purpose is to decouple the networking code from -the package preparation operation and make sure that it is thread-safe. - -In addition, I am also continuing mentioned experiments to have a better -confidence on the future of this GSoC project. - -To other GSoC students, mentors and admins reading this, I am wishing -you all good health and successful projects this summer! - -[free software]: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html -[a proof of concept]: https://gist.github.com/McSinyx/513dbff71174fcc79f1cb600e09881af -[ResolveLib]: https://pypi.org/project/resolvelib |
