Get it
Install it. It is early.
0.1.0 is the first packaged release, licensed AGPL-3.0. It installs on a machine with none of our deployment on it — which is what took the longest — and you can read every line of what would run.
Install
One package, two dependencies.
pip install micyte-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whlPython 3.13 · wheel from the release below · not on PyPI yet · needs pyyaml + shapely
import micyte
Notably no boto3 and no cloud SDK — that absence is a useful
check that the software carries no deployment coupling. It is a database
and its tools, nothing that phones home.
What alpha means
Plain about what is, and is not, here yet.
You get the database and its tools as a library. There
is no installer, no desktop application, and no micyte
command yet. The design for running it as a local app is
written down
and not yet built.
An install also cannot report itself to the registry yet — addresses resolve, but only inside a single deployment. The network map shows where that is going; it does not show live installs.
The reason to look now is the same reason the licence is AGPL: you can read the whole thing before there is anything to trust.
