Project description
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.
Installation
vpip is hosted on pypi:
pip install vpip
Usage example
Install:
vpip install - Create/activate a local venv and install all dependencies.
vpip install configupdater - Create/activate a local venv, install configupdater, and add to production dependency.
vpip install -g youtube-dl - Create a venv under ~/.vpip, install youtube-dl, and link the executable (youtube-dl.exe) to the script folder.
Uninstall:
vpip uninstall pylint - Activate the local venv, uninstall pylint, and remove pylint from both dev/prod dependency.
Update:
vpip update pylint - Upgrade pylint to the compatible version.
vpip update pylint --latest - Upgrade pylint to the latest release.
Execute command:
vpip run python - Launch python REPL in the local venv.
vpip run pylint my_proj - Run pylint installed in the local venv.
List dependencies:
vpip list - List development/production dependencies.
vpip list --outdated - List development/production dependencies that are outdated.
vpip list -g - List globally installed packages.
