safe-pip 1.0.1

A safer pip that checks package health before installation.

safe-pip

safe-pip is a wrapper around the standard pip command that checks the health score of a package from Snyk Advisor before installation. It informs you about the package's health and asks for confirmation before proceeding.

Installation

Install safe-pip using pip:

pip install safe-pip

Usage

Use safe-pip just like you would use pip:

safe-pip install package_name

Replacing pip with safe-pip

If you want to replace the pip command with safe-pip, you can create an alias or a symbolic link.

Use this one-liner to add the following line to your shell's configuration file (e.g., .bashrc, .zshrc):

Zsh

echo "alias pip3='safe-pip'" >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

Bash

echo "alias pip3='safe-pip'" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

alias -s pip3 "safe-pip"

The original pip could still be used by running:

python3 -m pip3
