pip_and_pip_tools 7.5.3.1

Requires compatible installations of pip and pip-tools

Purpose

Occasionally, a new pip release is incompatible with the latest existing pip-tools release.

The purpose of this package is to make it easy to ensure compatible installations of the two tools.

Approach

Once the incompatible pip release hits, there may be a span of time during which pip-tools is not yet ready for its own release.

Upon or in advance of these events, this package will be swiftly published to PyPI, and will depend on:

• pip-tools>=LATEST

• pip<INCOMPATIBLE

This package will have no real content of its own.

Once a pip-tools version is released that is compatible with the latest pip release, this package will be published again, depending on:

• pip-tools>=LATEST

• pip

Versioning

Since this has no real code to version, we will version each release with the corresponding latest version of pip-tools, for clarity.

If a new release is needed without a pip-tools version bump, an extra version segment will be added. This is done by setting version_overflow in vars.json.

Warnings

This package is currently maintained by me, some guy you don’t know.

I am not going to anything malicious with this package, but depending on it without verifying its content is a risk you should beware.

Usage

$ pip install -U pip pip-tools pip-and-pip-tools

Maintenance

If anyone wants to take over maintenance of the package, please open an issue.

Basically:

• Install and setup [mise](https://mise.jdx.dev/)

• Edit vars.json according to the Approach section above

  • Leave version_overflow set to the empty string unless you need a second release against the same pip-tools version

• Commit, tag, and push, with the tag being the release version
