About the project

pykx is a Python wrapper/interface with the q language from KX systems.
Initial release of pykx 2022. Releasing to PyPi began 2023.

We expect release file sizes to decrease rather than increase but are at 8.8/10GB storage used.
We hit the limit already and deleted some releases to make space available but will hit the limit again shortly.

How large is each release?

~400MiB per release. Compiled .so/.dylib/.dll files take up the bulk on the package space.

35 wheels, each about 11MiB:

• 5 platforms: Linux x86 / Linux ARM / Mac ARM / Mac Intel / Windows
• 7 Python versions: 3.8, 3.9 , 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14

Efforts made to reduce storage usage already:

1. I deleted 4 historic releases.
2. Per release used to be ~550MiB, this is now ~400MiB due to a reduced number of compiled assets being included.
3. Python 3.8 is being removed in the next release which will drop per release usage.

Planned tasks to reduce storage:

1. Python 3.9 removal by EoY as it is also EoL.
2. Mac x86 removal.
3. Further reduce assets in package itself

How frequently do you make a release?

Historically about once per month but this has slowed, about once every 2 months going forward.

Thanks for filing.

There are currently 19 other open limit request issues ahead of this one.

PyPI support is one paid staffer, plus volunteers, plus whatever part-time hours other PSF staff have to give. Often that's zero. If you'd like to help fund more staffing, the PSF takes donations at https://www.python.org/psf/donations/. Either way, someone will get to your request eventually.
