pip-review

Looking for a new maintainer! See jgonggrijp#76.

pip-review is a convenience wrapper around pip. It can list available updates by deferring to pip list --outdated. It can also automatically or interactively install available updates for you by deferring to pip install.

Example, report-only:

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

Example, actually install everything:

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

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

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

Run pip-review -h for a complete overview of the options.

Note: If you want to pin specific packages to prevent them from automatically being upgraded, you can use a constraint file (similar to requirements.txt):

$ export PIP_CONSTRAINT="${HOME}/constraints.txt
$ cat $PIP_CONSTRAINT
pyarrow==0.14.1
pandas<0.24.0

$ pip-review --auto
...

Set this variable in .bashrc or .zshenv to make it persistent. Alternatively, this option can be specified in pip.conf, e.g.:

$ cat ~/.config/pip.conf
[global]
constraint = /home/username/constraints.txt

Since version 0.5, you can also invoke pip-review as python -m pip_review. This can be useful if you are using multiple versions of Python next to each other.

Before version 1.0, pip-review had its own logic for finding package updates instead of relying on pip list --outdated.

Like pip, pip-review updates all packages, including pip and pip-review.

Installation

To install, simply use pip:

$ pip install pip-review

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

Testing

To test with your active Python version:

$ ./run-tests.sh

To test under all (supported) Python versions:

$ tox

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

Origins

pip-review was originally part of pip-tools but has been discontinued as such. See Pin Your Packages by Vincent Driessen for the original introduction. Since there are still use cases, the tool now lives on as a separate package.
