nwpackageversions

Introduction

This packages consists of the following modules:

• nwpackageversions is a library that helps with retrieving package information from PyPi.org and comparing them with what you have installed locally.
• nwpackageversionscli is a command-line application built on the top of nwpackageversions.

Getting Started

I'll use Debian as operating system, but the concept is similar for Windows or Mac.

Procedure:

1. Install pip and venv:

sudo apt install python3-pip python3.12-venv

2. Create a virtual environment:

python3 -m venv /tmp/nwpackageversions
source /tmp/nwpackageversions/bin/activate

3. Download and install the package:

pip install nwpackageversions

4. Enter in the interactive Python environment:

python3

Python 3.12.3 (main, Aug 31 2026, 10:18:26) [GCC 13.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

5. Try out if the library works:

from nwpackageversions import RequirementChecker

requirement_checker : RequirementChecker = RequirementChecker()

6. Exit from the interactive Python environment:

exit()

7. Try out if the CLI application works:

nwpackageversionscli

8. Deactivate and delete the virtual environment:

deactivate
rm -rf /tmp/nwpackageversions

9. Done!

Examples

Run it against the current runtime:

nwpackageversionscli runtime --required 3.12.5

The installed Python version is matching the expected one (installed: '3.12.5', expected: '3.12.5').

Run it against a file_path:

nwpackageversionscli requirements --file_path .devcontainer/main/Dockerfile --waiting_time 5
