❓ Why piplexed

The name piplexed is a play on words, it contains the letters for pipx and I was also mildly perplexed trying to find a simpler way to identify outdated pipx installed packages, only to discover it didn't exist. Put the two together and well.... you get the idea (naming things is hard after all!). For a longer answer see the documentation.

🩹 Caveats

Piplexed is a project that I built for my workflow, but it may not work for everyone.

It is only intended to work for packages that are installed from PyPI, so will not work for local packages or git/url etc.
