Run Postgres Tests with Python Without Docker, Brew, or Apt
Pip install Postgres – no Docker/Brew/apt
I built a lightweight Python library to simplify PostgreSQL testing without relying on Docker, Brew, or system package managers. By bundling binaries directly, you can spin up fresh databases for Pytest instantly, create per-thread instances, or restore from archives with minimal overhead. The tool also includes a local query plan analyzer and supports rapid setup via uvx for throwaway environments.

why would you use the worst package manager instead of the better ones?
