Homebrew vs PyDist: What are the differences?

What is Homebrew? The Missing Package Manager for macOS. Homebrew installs the stuff you need that Apple didn’t. Homebrew installs packages to their own directory and then symlinks their files into /usr/local.

What is PyDist? Host your private Python packages with all the convenience of PyPI. It combines a PyPI mirror with a private index, so all of your Python dependencies are in the same place. It works with standard python packaging tools including pip, pipenv, poetry and twine by setting a single flag.

Homebrew and PyDist can be categorized as "Package Managers" tools.

Homebrew is an open source tool with 18.6K GitHub stars and 4.15K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Homebrew's open source repository on GitHub.
