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.
