minipip 0.1b5

Tool for installing packages for MicroPython and CircuitPython

Tool for installing distribution packages for MicroPython and CircuitPython.

Supports both upip-compatible packages, and regular pip-compatible packages (by using pip install –target …).

By default it prefers packages at micropython.org-s index. If the package or the required version is not found there, then it turns to PyPI.

If --port is given and rshell is available then it uploads the extracted files to the target device, otherwise it just extracts modules to a directory in the local filesystem. --target directory must be explicitly given in both cases. If target is at local filesystem, then makes sure data gets synced (useful, if target is a USB volume representing MicroPython or CircuitPython filesystem)

Installation

pip install minipip

Requires Python 3.6+. The only required dependencies are pip and setuptools (most likely already present). rshell is an optional dependency.

Usage examples

• minipip install --port /dev/ttyACM0 --target /lib micropython-logging

• minipip install --target G:\lib adafruit-circuitpython-ssd1306

minipip -h

minipip [-h] [-r [REQUIREMENT_FILE [REQUIREMENT_FILE ...]]] [-p [PORT]] -t TARGET_DIR [-i INDEX_URL] [-v] [-q] [--version] {install} [package_spec [package_spec ...]]

Meant for installing both upip and pip compatible distribution packages from PyPI and micropython.org/pi to a local directory, USB volume or directly to MicroPython filesystem over
serial connection (requires rshell).

positional arguments:
  {install}             Currently the only supported command is 'install'
  package_spec          Package specification, eg. 'micropython-os' or 'micropython-os>=0.6'

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -r [REQUIREMENT_FILE [REQUIREMENT_FILE ...]], --requirement [REQUIREMENT_FILE [REQUIREMENT_FILE ...]]
                        Install from the given requirements file.
  -p [PORT], --port [PORT]
                        Serial port of the device (specify if you want minipip to upload the result to the device)
  -t TARGET_DIR, --target TARGET_DIR
                        Target directory (on device, if port is given, otherwise local)
  -i INDEX_URL, --index-url INDEX_URL
                        Custom index URL
  -v, --verbose         Show more details about the process
  -q, --quiet           Don't show non-error output
  --version             Show program version and exit
