PyPiParser

Simple PyPI Package Index parser for index servers without XML / JSON API.

Note: It's still very much a prototype and missing a lot of potentially cool features, since I wrote it with a specific project need in mind.

Installation

via PIP

pip install pypiparser

Usage

from pypiparser import PackageIndex

# create an index object to work with
index = PackageIndex("http://pypi.example.com")

# get simple index url / base url
print index.index_url
""" Result: http://pypi.example.com/simple """ 

# check if a package is available on the index
print index.provides_package("pyside2")
""" Result: True """

# get all available package versions from index
print index.get_all_versions("pyside2")
""" Result: 
[<'pyside2' (Wheel, v5.9.0a1.dev1527518830, '<PackageIndex, 'http://pypi.example.com'>')>,

# get the newest compatible version with my setup (filter=True)
pkg = index.get_newest_version("pyside2", filter=True)
