mpip ("managed pip") is a thin wrapper around pip that helps you manage your requirements.txt file.

Installation

pip install mpip

Basic Usage

mpip install django # adds "django" to your requirements file
mpip install django==3.1.5 # adds "django==3.1.5" to your requirements file
mpip uninstall django # removes any version of django from your requirements file 

For more detailed usage information, see mpip --help.

The CLI is built using python-fire, so for more details about the specific mechanics of argument parsing, that would be the first place to look. Generally speaking, it will try to parse arguments as python objects, e.g. --quiet True

Features

• Creates requirements.txt if one is not detected
• Handles pip versioning semantics such as <, >, >=, ==
• Deletes requirements.txt if all requirements have been uninstalled
