pypm2 0.1.3

Python package manager for projects running Python3.6 and above.

pypm

Python package manager for Python 3, similar to npm. This command line tool works just like npm and should mirror its features. Python has no community adopted approach to managing projects. Also, outside of requirements.txt there is no adopted approach to storing and maintaining dependencies. In an effort to resolve this, I've introduced the pyPM tool. It uses the same package.json structure as npm, with all the configurations setup.py offers.

This project intends not to replace (npm) for Node, but to introduce the same project management features to the Python community.

Install

requires Python 3.6

PyPI

pip install pypm2

Locally

git clone https://github.com/ableinc/pypm.git
cd pypm
pip install --upgrade .

How to Use

pyPM works just like npm. You are granted the same operations such as, init, install, uninstall, update, start, and run. Run:

pypm --help

Examples

1. init
   Generate a brand new package.json file from information in your requirements.txt and setup.py.

   pypm init
   

2. run
   Run a predefined scripts from the 'scripts' section of your package.json.

   pypm run tests
   

3. start
   Run the start script.

   pypm start
   

4. install ¹
   Install all or specific packages. Using 'install' as a standalone, it will install all dependencies listed in your package.json (if exists).

   pypm install
   

   or

   pypm install package1 package2
   

5. uninstall ¹
   Uninstall all or specific packages. Using 'uninstall' as a standalone, it will uninstall all dependencies listed in your package.json (if exists).

   pypm uninstall
   

   or

   pypm uninstall package1 package2
   

6. update ¹
   Update all or specific packages. Using 'update' as a standalone, it will update all dependencies listed in your package.json (if exists).

   pypm update
   

   or

   pypm update package1 package2
   

7. setup
   Instead of manually creating setup.py and setup.cfg files, you can add the same arguments under the 'setup' key in the package.json (refer to package.json), then run pypm setup to install your project locally.

   pypm setup
   

   Update setuptools, wheel, pip

   pypm setup True
   

Key

¹ Any arguments that pip or npm allow can be combined into these command line arguments. Initiated by adding --arguments option. Example:

pypm install pydotenvs --no-cache

The above example will install the library pydotenvs via PyPI using Pip's built in --no-cache feature.

Notes

1. Documentation is on-going, so refer to examples above for now.

2. Unfortunately someone beat me to the name pypm. Note that when you use pip install be sure to include the 2. This would normally be an issue if you imported this package, but it's a command line tool

3. When installing using npm, the package.json will not update dependencies. This is a known bug. Until fixed, use npm/npx to do your installing for node projects. All other features work.

4. When generating the setup.py & setup.cfg files for development mode installation pip, setuptools and wheel may need to be updated. Follow the instructions above to update alongside setup functionality.

Changelog
