• “Vending all of the services as separate pip packages isn’t the easiest to work with”
• “Constantly going back and forth for a pypi package was a pain.”
• “not a huge fan of having to install each service separately, feels very npm-ish”
• “upgrading all my pip modules to the latest release was also kind of a pain.”
• “… first thought is… holy crap, that’s really granular. This isn’t node, people. Python folks do not expect that kind of granular packages!”

• What is the expected behavior (or behavior of feature suggested)?

1 package to rule them all

• What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior or adding this feature?

a more Pythonic developer experience

• Please tell us about your environment:

  • Language: [ Python ]

• Other information As an alternative approach to a monolithic package, what if there were init templates for Python CDK projects that populated the requirements.txt file with some or all of the modularized packages. For example cdk init --language python all references every CDK package in requirements.txt so that pip install -r requirements.txt gets everything. The ‘Lambda’ template creates a requirements.txt that references the Lambda, APIGateway, DynamoDB, S3, SNS, and SQS packages; ‘containers’ - ECS, ECR, EKS, and EC2; and so on.

Would this address the problem?

What about providing a “bill-of-materials” package that depends on all packages. So each developer could decide to use individual packages or just add the bom-package?
