Warehouse is the open-source web application that powers the Python Package Index (PyPI), the official repository for publishing and distributing Python packages. It provides package upload, search, account management, and the package index API used by pip and other Python tooling.

Use cases

• self-host a private Python package index
• contribute to the software running pypi.org
• run a local PyPI-like registry for development
• understand how Python package publishing works
• mirror a PyPI-compatible package repository
• customize package index features for an organization

When to choose

• you need a full-featured, PyPI-compatible package index you can host yourself
• you want to contribute to or study the codebase behind pypi.org
• you need package upload, search, and distribution APIs compatible with pip

When to avoid

• you just need to install or publish packages - use pip and pypi.org directly
• you need a lightweight private registry - simpler tools like devpi or a proxy cache may suffice
• you are not working in the Python packaging ecosystem
