pip-tools 0.3.6

pip-tools keeps your pinned dependencies fresh.

pip-tools = pip-review + pip-dump

A set of two command line tools to help you keep your pip-based packages fresh, even when you’ve pinned them.

[You _do_ pin them, right?][0]


pip-review

pip-review checks PyPI and reports available updates. It uses the list of currently installed packages to check for updates, it does not use any requirements.txt

Example, report-only:

`console $ pip-review requests==0.13.4 available (you have 0.13.2) redis==2.4.13 available (you have 2.4.9) rq==0.3.2 available (you have 0.3.0) `

Example, actually install everything:

`console $ pip-review --auto ... <pip install output> `

Example, run interactively, ask to upgrade for each package:

`console $ pip-review --interactive requests==0.14.0 available (you have 0.13.2) Upgrade now? [Y]es, [N]o, [A]ll, [Q]uit y ... redis==2.6.2 available (you have 2.4.9) Upgrade now? [Y]es, [N]o, [A]ll, [Q]uit n rq==0.3.2 available (you have 0.3.0) Upgrade now? [Y]es, [N]o, [A]ll, [Q]uit y ... `

pip-dump

pip-dump dumps the exact versions of installed packages in your active environment to your requirements.txt file. If you have more than one file matching the *requirements.txt pattern (for example dev-requirements.txt), it will update each of them smartly.

Example:

`console $ cat requirements.txt Flask $ cat dev-requirements.txt ipython $ pip-dump $ cat requirements.txt Flask==0.9 Jinja2==2.6 Werkzeug==0.8.3 $ cat dev-requirements.txt ipython==0.13 `

Packages that you don’t want to dump but want to have installed locally nonetheless can be put in an optional file called .pipignore.

Installation

To install, simply use pip:

`console $ pip install pip-tools `

Decide for yourself whether you want to install the tools system-wide, or inside a virtual env. Both are supported.

Testing

To test with your active Python version:

`console $ ./run-tests.sh `

To test under all (supported) Python versions:

`console $ tox `

The tests run quite slow, since they actually interact with PyPI, which involves downloading packages, etc. So please be patient.
