PyFlow, a Rust package manager for Python

Wrote a Python dependency and version manager in Rust, modelled on Cargo — one tool that handled dependencies, scripts and Python versions together. The problems it solved were real. Almost everyone who saw it came back with the same question: why would I use this when we have pip, pipenv and poetry? Abandoned, because nobody used it.
