I've been using it as my command line installer for over a year. Using the internal APIs may be a bit more risky, but since everything is versioned I don't see any major problems. You're using version control and can revert to a previous version, right? And you have complete test coverage so you can tell if something breaks after upgrading right? It's nice to live in my imaginary dream world. :-) Honestly, we need more people to use Pyrus and make sure it's ready to become stable. Using it in the alpha state is not an issue I concern myself with — upgrading is where I get a bit nervous, but because I'm following the development, and Pyrus currently has about 80% test coverage, I'm not worried too much. Github has everything you need to work with pyrus — https://github.com/pyrus For information on getting a development environment up and running you can read this helpful doc and be up and running in minutes. https://github.com/pyrus/pyrus-docs/wiki/Developing-for-Pyrus Hope that helps! -- Brett Bieber
