Skip-Pip

Skip-Pip is a command-line tool that acts like pip but with enhanced resilience during package installation. When installing from a requirements file, it skips packages that fail to install while continuing with the rest.

Features

• Resilient Installation: Installs each package individually from requirements files.
• Error Logging: Prints error details for packages that fail to install.
• Familiar Interface: Supports standard pip commands and arguments.

Installation

You can install Skip-Pip via pip (after publishing on PyPI):

pip install skip-pip

Usage

Use skip-pip in place of pip. Here are a few examples:

• Installing from a Requirements File:

  skip-pip install -r requirements.txt
  

  This command reads the requirements.txt file, installs each package one by one, and prints a summary of any packages that failed to install.

• Installing a Specific Package:

  skip-pip install requests
  

  This installs the requests package.

• Passing Additional Pip Arguments:

  You can also pass extra pip arguments, such as upgrading packages:

  skip-pip install -r requirements.txt -- --upgrade
  

  The -- separator indicates that the following options should be forwarded to pip.
