UnixPackage is a UNIX independent way of installing packages. Specify the Ubuntu package name (e.g. libpq-dev), and it will install the equivalent on your system (e.g. postgresql-libs on Arch).
Install
Either:
$ pip install unixpackage
Or:
$ sudo pip install unixpackage
unixpackage is entirely self contained and has no dependencies. It is safe to use sudo pip install with it.
Simple Usage
Run:
$ unixpackage install libpq-dev
On Arch this will run:
$ sudo pacman -S postgresql-libs
On Debian and Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
On Mac OS X:
$ brew install postgresql
On Red Hat/CentOS/Fedora:
$ sudo yum install postgresql-devel
Other usage
You can also just print the command to install rather than running it:
$ unixpackage show libpq-dev libssl-dev sudo pacman -S postgresql-libs openssl
Or just check to see if it is installed:
$ unixpackage check libpq-dev openssl Installed
Or install using “polite mode”:
$ unixpackage install libpq-dev --polite
The following command must be run to continue. I am attempting to run it now:
sudo apt-get install -y libpq-dev
You can also run this command in another window and then hit Ctrl-C to continue.

Python API
There is also a python API for the above commands:
import unixpackage
import sys
# Install package if not already installed
unixpackage.install(["libpq-dev"])
# Install package if not already installed (in polite mode)
unixpackage.install(["libpq-dev"], polite=True)
# Check if packages are installed
if unixpackage.packages_installed(["libpq-dev"]):
sys.stdout.write("libpq-dev installed")Package Library
Package names and their equivalents are downloaded from https://github.com/unixpackage/unixpackage.github.io via the generated website:
Example : http://unixpackage.github.io/libpq-dev.json
These files are cached in the ~/.unixpackage directory.
