okonomiyaki
Self-contained library to deal with metadata in Enthought-specific egg and runtime archives
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you work with Enthought egg archives or need robust version and platform normalization for EDM/enpkg tooling. The library is stable and supports current Python versions. No, if you need active maintenance or are building on a general-purpose package ecosystem—this is a specialized tool for Enthought's legacy packaging format, not a general dependency.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python >= 3.6.
- Platform and egg metadata features require optional extras (okonomiyaki[platforms] or okonomiyaki[formats]).
- Low install friction with no runtime dependencies.

What it is and what it does
Okonomiyaki is a low-level library for handling Enthought egg archives and runtime metadata. It provides object models for version parsing (supporting EnpkgVersion and PEP 440 formats), platform representation and normalization (handling legacy EDM platform strings like rh5-64 and modern ARM/ARM64 architectures), and egg metadata extraction. The library is designed around immutable, hashable instances suitable for use as dictionary keys.
The package is split into optional extras: the base install provides version parsing only, okonomiyaki[platforms] adds platform detection and normalization, and okonomiyaki[formats] adds egg metadata and archive tools. It supports Python 3.6 through 3.12 and is intended to consolidate Enthought's internal egg and package tooling into a reusable library.
Use it for
- Parse and compare version strings in Enthought egg format (e.g., "1.3.3-1") for dependency resolution.
- Normalize legacy EDM platform identifiers (rh5-64, rh6_x86_64) to canonical forms for cross-platform compatibility.
- Extract and validate metadata from Enthought .egg archives without manual low-level parsing.
- Detect the running system's platform and architecture, including ARM64 on Apple Silicon.
- Build or validate package metadata conforming to pkg-info versions 2.1 through 2.4.
