pipin 0.2.3

pipin is a little script to search for dependencies withinyour project(s).

Let’s pipin!

pipin is a little Python script to search for a given app(s) within your project’s dependencies.

You could probably handle same needs with ack or grep, but pipin is less characters to write, colorizes the output nicely etc.

Requirements

• Python 2.6+ or 3.3+

• argparse if py2.6

Installation

To install pipin, simply run:

sudo pip install pipin

Note: you probably want to install it as sudo in order to pipin everywhere.

Usage

Go to folder where all your projects are stored:

cd /home/projects/

Just tell what and where you want to pipin:

pipin Django==1.4.2 .

This will search for “Django==1.4.2” in requirements.txt file in current directory (because “.”).

Search within specific project only? Not a problem!

pipin Django==1.4.2 /path/to/project/

Different requirements file? Not a problem too!

pipin Django==1.4.2 . -f dev_requirements.txt

You might also need to search for multiple apps at once. Then do:

pipin Django==1.4.2 South .

Also, literal asterisk (*) is supported:

pipin Django*1.4 .

This will find occurences of Django==1.4 and Django>=1.4 as they are both valid.
