vpip 0.2.3

A CLI which aims to provide an npm-like experience when working with Python packages.

vpip = venv + pipm

A CLI which aims to provide an npm-like experience when installing Python packages.

Features

• Install packages to isolated global virtual environments.
  • Executables are linked to the Python Scripts folder so you can still use the CLI without activating the venv.
• Install packages to a local virtual environment.
  • requirements.txt and setup.cfg are updated automatically.
• Run commands in the local virtual environment.
• No lock file.

Uninstall:

• vpip uninstall pylint - Activate the local venv, uninstall pylint, and remove pylint from both dev/prod dependency.
