# Curdling - A Concurrent package manager for Python

[](http://travis-ci.org/clarete/curdling)

# Installing

```python
easy_install curdling
```

or

```python
pip curdling
```

# In a nutshell

What if you could speed up your python builds seamlessly ?
Replace your `pip install` with `curd install` today and feel the difference:

Installing flask with curdling
```bash
~ॐ time curd install flask
Installing: [##########] 100% (6/6)

real 0m2.412s
user 0m1.478s
sys 0m0.669s
```

Installing with pip
```bash
~ॐ time pip install -q flask

real 0m16.359s
user 0m3.036s
sys 0m1.005s
```

## Why is it faster to install with curdling ?

Python has a new¹
[PEP](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_Enhancement_Proposal#Development)
that proposes a binary format for distribution of compiled python
packages called ["wheel"](http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0427/).

Curdling is a concurrent python package installer that smartly
parallelize package discovery, dependency resolution, download,
compiling, caching and installing.

It's like `easy_install` or `pip`, but a lot faster.

¹: The PEP is "relatively new" from September 2012
