The new lockfile format introduced in PEP 751
Nico Albers

In March 2025, PEP 751 got accepted, proposing an new format how lockfiles should be structured. The talk will give a brief history of this PEP (and it's rejected predecessor), introduce you to the proposed pylock.toml format and discuss (subjective) highlights of this PEP. Afterwards, a practical example how this PEP could improve managing your environments will be discussed.
