Speed up Python builds with PEP-658 support
We’ve added support for PEP-658, allowing Python package clients to fetch only metadata from the Simple API during dependency resolution.
What’s new
Cloudsmith's Python Simple API index now includes .metadata links alongside package distribution files. When a compliant client like uv resolves dependencies, it fetches only the small metadata file for each candidate package rather than downloading the full archive. This allows the full dependency tree to be resolved efficiently upfront.
Previously, Python clients had to download entire packages just to read their dependency metadata. This put unnecessary strain on upstream caches and caused builds to be slow and unreliable.
Who this affects
Customers using Cloudsmith Python repositories with the Python Simple API enabled.
