Download Tarball

Automates manual Python library installation through the PyPi tar.gz tarball. If no tarball is found, the program will look for next available .zip file and install the package. I've used this in the past when pip hasn't worked out, and I have to revert to manual installation of Python libraries. Works on Python 3.4+.

Install with:

pip install download-tarball

Or:

python setup.py install

Basic Usage

Installing a single package from the command line:

download -p <package name>

File Usage

Installing via packages listed on separate lines in a .txt file.

Example File Format:

xlrd
black
pyinstaller

Command:

download -r <text file>
