GitLab PyPI registry tools

gitlab-pypi

A command-line tool for managing Python packages in GitLab's PyPI registry.

GitLab provides a built-in PyPI package registry, but the web UI for browsing and managing packages is limited. gitlab-pypi gives you a fast, readable CLI for listing packages, inspecting versions, and downloading or uploading wheel files — all via the GitLab REST API.

Features

• List packages — see all packages at a glance, with version counts and latest stable version
• Show versions — view all versions for one or more packages, with pre-release filtering
• Download — fetch .whl files from the registry
• Upload — publish one or more .whl files to the registry
• Delete — remove a package version from the registry
• Multiple output formats — coloured tables (default), --plain for piping into pip, or --json for scripting

Zero external dependencies — uses only the Python 3.12+ standard library.

Installation

pip install gitlab-pypi

Configuration

Create a config file at ~/.config/gitlab-pypi/config.json:

{
  "url": "https://gitlab.com",
  "project": "my-group/my-project",
  "token": "glpat-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
}

Or pass these as CLI flags (--url, --project, --token) on each command.

Usage

# List all packages in the registry
gitlab-pypi list

# Show versions for a package (stable only by default)
gitlab-pypi show my-package

# Show all versions including pre-releases
gitlab-pypi show my-package --all

# Plain output for piping into pip or requirements files
gitlab-pypi show my-package --plain

# Download the latest stable wheel
gitlab-pypi download my-package

# Download a specific version
gitlab-pypi download my-package==1.2.3

# Download all versions of a package
gitlab-pypi download my-package --all

# Upload one or more wheels
gitlab-pypi upload dist/my_package-1.0.0-py3-none-any.whl
gitlab-pypi upload dist/*.whl

# Delete a specific version
gitlab-pypi delete my-package==1.0.0
