termux-pip 0.1b15

CLI tool to configure the termux-pypi index and compile dynamic wheels

⚡ termux-pip (tpip)

termux-pip is a CLI utility that configures your Termux environment to use pre-compiled, self-contained wheels for heavy Python packages. Say goodbye to clang errors and hour-long builds.

---

🚀 Why use tpip?

• ⚡ Instant Install: Installs numpy, pandas, scipy, lxml and others in seconds.
• 📦 Self-Contained: Our wheels are bundled (or statically linked). You don't need to manually run pkg install libopenblas or libxml2. Everything is inside the .whl.
• 🔧 Native Experience: Once set up, you just use standard pip install. No new commands to learn.

📦 Installation

pip install termux-pip

🛠 Usage

1. Setup the Repository

Run this command once to configure your pip to point to our optimized Termux index:

tpip setup

2. Install Packages

Now, simply use pip as usual. It will automatically prefer our pre-compiled wheels.

# No need to install build dependencies
pip install numpy pandas pillow

---

Advanced: Building Wheels (tpip build)

You can build packages locally using our Recipe System.

tpip build automates the complex compilation process by pulling build recipes (patches, flags, and system dependencies).

tpip build <path_to_the_recipe>
# Example: tpip build recipe.yaml

What this command does:

1. Installs Deps: Automatically runs pkg install for necessary build tools (libopenblas, rust, ...)
2. Patches & Builds: Applies Android-specific patches (if available) and compiles the wheel locally

---

How it works

Normally, pip downloads source code and tries to compile it on your phone, which requires build tools and system libraries.

tpip setup changes your pip configuration to include the Termux-PyPI index. This repository hosts wheels that are:

1. Pre-compiled
2. Repaired to include all necessary dynamic libraries (like OpenBLAS) inside the wheel itself.
