Automate installation of standalone python CLIs
Project description
Automate installation of standalone python CLIs
Overview
pickley allows to install and keep up-to-date standalone pip-installable python CLIs such as tox, twine, etc. A bit like brew or apt, but based solely on pypi
It is similar to pipx, but supports any python (including py2, up to version 2.4.6), offers self-auto-upgrade, and can package folders as well (for deployment, as venv or pex currently).
It can work out of the box, without any configuration:
pickley is portable, it will run and install other CLIs in the same folder it’s running from (drop it in ~/.local/bin or /usr/local/bin for example)
All pypi packages with console_scripts entry point(s) can be immediately installed
Latest non-prerelease pypi version will be installed by default (can be pinned via explicit pin pickley install foo==1.0, or via configuration)
With some configuration, the following becomes possible:
You can pin what version to install, what python to use etc, per pypi package
You can define bundle-s: names that install several pypi packages at once, for example: you could define a bundle:dev to install tox pipenv pre-commit
You can use a custom pypi server index (pip’s default is respected by default)
You can use the symlink delivery method, which will use symlinks instead of self-upgrading wrapper
Example
Once you have pickley, you can get other python CLIs and use them as standalone programs, for example:
# One-liner to grab pickley, and drop it in ~/.local/bin $ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codrsquad/pickley/master/src/pickley/bstrap.py | /usr/bin/python3 - # Double-check you do have ~/.local/bin in your PATH $ which -a pickley ~/.local/bin/pickley $ pickley base ~/.local/bin $ pickley install tox twine Installed tox v3.21.4 in 6 seconds 501 ms Installed twine v3.3.0 in 6 seconds 901 ms $ which tox ~/.local/bin/tox $ tox --version tox version 3.21.4 $ pickley list | Package | Version | -------------|---------- | tox | 3.21.4 | | twine | 3.3.0 |
Configuration
See config
Features
Any pypi package that has console_scripts entry point can be installed and kept up-to-date
Aims to work with zero configuration (but configuration is possible):
entirely portable, installations are performed in the same folder where pickley resides, drop it in ~/.local/bin and all the stuff you install with it will also be there
latest non pre-release version from pypi is used
Commands:
check: exit with code 0 if specified package(s) are up-to-date
install: install specified package(s)
list: list installed packages via pickley, in folder where it resides (not globally)
package: can be used to simplify packaging of python projects for internal use
Installation
Install latest version in ~/.local/bin
Handy one-line using bash:
$ /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codrsquad/pickley/master/get-pickley)"
Handy one-liner using python (see --help, the script accepts a few options):
$ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codrsquad/pickley/master/src/pickley/bstrap.py | /usr/bin/python3 - --help
Install from source
Run (you will need tox):
git clone https://github.com/codrsquad/pickley.git cd pickley tox -e venv .venv/bin/pickley --help
