PyBuilder is a software build tool written in 100% pure Python, mainlytargeting Python applications.

PyBuilder is based on the concept of dependency based programming, but it alsocomes with a powerful plugin mechanism, allowing the construction of build lifecycles similar to those known from other famous (Java) build tools.

PyBuilder is running on the following versions of Python 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 and PyPy 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10.

See theGitHub Actions Workflow for version specific output.

PyBuilder is available using pip:

$ pip install pybuilder

For development builds use:

$ pip install --pre pybuilder

See thePyPI for more information.

PyBuilder emphasizes simplicity. If you want to build a pure Python project anduse the recommended directory layout, all you have to do is create a filebuild.py with the following content:

frompybuilder.coreimportuse_pluginuse_plugin("python.core")use_plugin("python.unittest")use_plugin("python.coverage")use_plugin("python.distutils")default_task="publish"

See thePyBuilder homepage for more details anda list of plugins.
