This is really disappointing. Given how popular Python has become, this decision is pretty surprising. Looks like we'll need to consider alternatives like Artifactory. |

Agreed. Especially seeing how simple the pypi repo api is. Alternatively it is possible to install packages directly through git access: |

It really should be given the fact that packaging Python packages has become so common and standard in many projects. Providing a proper, official way to do this will boost Github's packaging support 👍> I don't know if this post (given its age) is being monitored by anyone from the Github team ... |

This is a fundamentally critical piece that is preventing a lot of companies from migrating away from GitLab, which has an excellent implementation of this. Quite shocking that Engineering is so blasé about it . |

LOL ... Now it's March 2025 and ChatGPT o1 Pro hallucinated and told me the feature was available. Clearly python registry support isn't here yet. In the age of AI and rocket ships that can be caught by chopsticks and self-driving cars, we still don't have a basic python registry. Humans will colonize Mars before we get this feature. Mark my words. Thanks GitHub, Inc. |

We've had great success using PyOCI in conjunction with GitHub Packages. It's a stateless web server that provides a PyPi compatible API, but stores and retrieves the packages as OCI artifacts in any OCI registry. You can use the instance hosted by the creator, or run your own instance anywhere you can run a container. We run an instance on a free plan of Azure App Service. |

I would love this as a feature, but only if they actually implement it properly; right now, the existing implementation of Maven/Gradle support is half-baked and basically useless, and GitHub has removed any improvements to it from the Road Map. If hypothetical Python support ends up getting implemented only to the same level as the Maven/Gradle support, it's probably better not to have it at all - half-implemented support just gets people to naively try using it, and then constantly fighting against all the shortcomings and having to implement a bunch of workarounds, when you'd be better off just using a different solution from the start. In other words, if Python package support were implemented more like npm or RubyGems support, that'd be great. If it's only going to be implemented like Maven/Gradle support, then at least for me it'd be a hard pass. |

Finally unsubscribing and accepting this is never happening. This was #94 in their roadmap and it's "closed as not planned" -- github/roadmap#94

Such a crucial feature, and so easy to implement, likely the product team are blissfully unaware of how many commercial decisions are made based on this missing feature, and moreover the gain in market share they would get if they implemented it. |

Maybe they don't want this feature because they know it'll be heavily used and will require lots of dedicated resources. This topic was opened almost 5 years ago, it's absurd. |

Not having this has meant my org has moved to a competing platform instead. The number of features we get with GitHub has not kept pace with others and we're divesting in those deficient areas. |

Absolute bollocks. Not implementing a feature like this for over 5 years?? really? I have been working with GitLab for all this time and a new project uses Enterprise GitHub (PAID FOR) and not having a feature like this.... Will be recommending to move the project to GitLab. Utterly disappointing. |

It’s just that five years ago there wasn’t such a crazy AI hype. Maybe Microsoft is just hoping that AI will eventually implement this feature all by itself ) |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.

Yet here I am discovering that GitHub is owned by Microsoft. No wonder:))) I don't think it's about AI hype, the need to have this feature is really as basic as it gets for Python devs, to have a private managed registry, not all projects are open source and it just drives revenue that comes from projects that use a paid enterprise GitHub to the competition at GitLab and others. I'm surprised they implemented all other repos they currently have, but why a Python index repo that is not that hard of a system in its core is absolutely ignored is a mystery. I'd expect Microsoft to use AI to steal people's data and sell it to advertisers rather than use it for something useful _('<')_/ |

Such a basic feature and simple to implement but no response for 5 yrs!! Huge demand means huge traffic from users once it is implemented. Probably that's the reason for not implementing it!! |

Right now you could only upload to pypi or leave it like that. I want to upload my packages to GitHub packages just like docker, npm, gradle, maven etc. It would be awesome if you could release it in the public beta where users can simply go to feature preview and enable it.
