Syft Python Distributions

A project that packages Syft as a Python package, enabling syft to be installed from PyPI:

pip install anchore_syft

Afterwards, Syft can be run using either syft or anchore_syft.

PyPI package versions will follow the major.minor.patch version numbers of Syft releases.

Binary wheels for Windows, macOS, and Linux for most CPU architectures supported on PyPI are provided.

Installing Syft

Syft can be installed by pip with:

pip install anchore_syft

or:

python -m pip install anchore_syft

Building from the source dist package requires internet access in order to download one of the pre-compiled release binaries from https://github.com/anchore/syft/releases. Platforms that Syft doesn't provide pre-compiled binaries for will not work at all, unless someone feels inclined to submit a PR that fetches an appropriate Go compiler to build Syft from source.

Using with pipx

Using pipx run anchore_syft <args> will run Syft without any install step, as long as the machine has pipx installed (which includes GitHub Actions runners).

Using with pyproject.toml

Syft can be added to the project.dependencies key in a pyproject.toml file for Python packages that require Syft.
