wppm — WinPython Package Manager

wppm is the package manager companion of WinPython, the portable Python distribution for Windows. It works on any Python environment, WinPython or not.

It complements pip (which remains the recommended way to add or remove packages) with:

• dependency tree navigation: see what a package requires (-p), or which installed packages require it (-r), across any number of levels — including [extra] variants,
• wheelhouse installs: install a set of wheels from a local directory or a pylock.toml file,
• WinPython housekeeping: register/unregister a WinPython distribution in Windows, make it movable, list or summarize installed packages.

Examples

Which installed packages depend on pytest, and which pin it hard (!):

wppm -r pytest![test]

The full constraint web of your environment — every package, every extra, nine levels deep:

wppm -p .[.] -l9

What pandas pulls in, one level:

wppm -p pandas -l1

Command line

usage: wppm [-h] [-v] [--register] [--unregister] [--fix] [--movable]
            [-ws WHEELSOURCE] [-wd WHEELDRAIN] [-ls] [-lsa] [-md] [-p] [-r]
            [-l LEVELS] [-t TARGET] [-i] [-u]
            [package(s) or lockfile ...]
