Command-line tool for querying PyPI and Python packages installed on your system.
Project description
Installation
You can install yolk with pip install yolk or via your distro’s package manager, if available.
As of 0.0.7 yolk is in Gentoo’s Portage tree as dev-python/yolk and a plugin for Portage named dev-python/yolk-portage. The portage plugin shows you which Python packages were installed via Portage and which were installed directly with pip (or easy_install). Check out that plugin and make one for your favorite distro. It’s a great way to find Python cruft.
Summary
Yolk is a Python tool for obtaining information about installed Python packages and querying packages available on PyPI (Python Package Index).
You can see which packages are active, non-active or in development mode and show you which have newer versions available by querying PyPI.
Usage Examples:
$ yolk -l List all installed Python packages $ yolk -a List only the activated packages installed (Activated packages are normal packages on sys.path you can import) $ yolk -n List only the non-activated (--multi-version) packages installed $ yolk -l -f License,Author nose==1.0 Show the license and author for version 1.0 of the package `nose` $ yolk --entry-map nose Show entry map for the nose package $ yolk --entry-points nose.plugins Show all setuptools entry points for nose.plugins
These options query PyPI:
$ yolk -U pkg_name Shows if an update for pkg_name is available by querying PyPI $ yolk -U Checks PyPI to see if any installed Python packages have updates available. $ yolk -F Paste Download source tarball for latest version of Paste to your current directory $ yolk -F Paste -T svn Do a subversion checkout for Paste to a directory named Paste_svn in your current directory. $ yolk -L 2 Show list of CheeseShop releases in the last two hours $ yolk -C 2 Show detailed list of changes in the CheeseShop in the last two hours $ yolk -M Paste==1.0 Show all the metadata for Paste version 1.0 $ yolk -M Paste Show all the metadata for the latest version of Paste listed on PyPi $ yolk -D cheesecake Show all (source, egg, svn) URL's for the latest version of cheesecake packages $ yolk -T source -D cheesecake Show only source code releases for cheesecake $ yolk -H twisted Launches your web browser at Twisted's home page
