Pyroma is a package quality assessment tool that checks Python projects against established packaging conventions. It helps maintainers identify problems that may affect the presentation, distribution or usability of packages published through PyPI and compatible package indexes.
The application evaluates packaging metadata and related project information, assigning a numerical quality rating together with explanations of issues that could be improved. Its emphasis is on packaging best practices rather than analysing program logic or checking whether source code can be compiled.
Pyroma can be used before publishing a package or to assess software that is already available through a package index. This makes it useful for developers maintaining reusable Python libraries and for organisations that want to encourage consistent packaging standards across multiple projects.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Evaluates Python package metadata against established packaging conventions and recommended practices.
- Checks package names, descriptions, project URLs and other essential distribution information.
- Examines long descriptions for formatting and rendering problems that may affect their appearance on package indexes.
- Checks the availability of source distributions when assessing published packages.
- Produces a numerical quality rating accompanied by details of detected problems.
- Can analyse local project directories, distribution archives and packages already published on PyPI.
- Supports package indexes compatible with the PyPI interface.
- Provides a Python API for incorporating packaging checks into custom development workflows.
