Query PyPI from the command line
Project description
GitHub | PyPI | Issues | Changelog
qypi is a command-line client for querying & searching the Python Package Index for Python package information and outputting JSON (with some minor opinionated changes to the output data structures; see the examples below).
Installation
qypi requires Python 3.6 or higher. Just use version 6.0 or higher of pip for Python 3 (You have pip, right?) to install qypi and its dependencies:
python3 -m pip install qypi
Usage
qypi [-i|--index-url <URL>] <command> [<options>] [<arguments>]
Global Option
- -i URL, --index-url URL
Query the Python package server at the given URL, which must support both the XML-RPC and JSON APIs. By default, qypi queries PyPI (Warehouse) at https://pypi-hypernode.com/pypi.
List Packages
list
qypi list
List all packages registered on PyPI, one per line, in the order that they are returned by the API. list and readme are the only subcommands that do not output JSON.
search
qypi search [--and|--or] [--packages|--releases] <term> ...
Search PyPI for packages or package releases matching the given search terms. Search terms consist of a field name and a value separated by a colon; a term without a colon searches the description field. As documented here, the supported searchable fields are:
name
version
author
author_email
maintainer
maintainer_email
home_page (aliases: homepage and url)
license
summary
description (aliases: long_description and readme)
keywords (alias: keyword)
platform
download_url
All other fields are ignored.
Multiple search terms referring to the same field are combined with logical OR. Search terms on different fields are combined according to whether --and or --or is specified on the command line; the default behavior is --and.
By default, search lists every matching release for every package, even if the same package has multiple matching releases. To list no more than one release (specifically, the highest-versioned) per package, specify the -p/--packages option on the command line. -r/--releases restores the default behavior.
browse
qypi browse [-f|--file <file>] [--packages|--releases] <classifier> ...
List packages or package releases with the given trove classifiers. Because trove classifiers are not the most command-line friendly thing in the world, they may optionally be read from a file, one classifier per line. Any further classifiers listed on the command line will be added to the file’s list.
By default, browse lists every matching release for every package, even if the same package has multiple matching releases. To list no more than one release (specifically, the highest-versioned) per package, specify the -p/--packages option on the command line. -r/--releases restores the default behavior.
owned
qypi owned <user> ...
List packages owned or maintained by the given PyPI users
Package Information
releases
qypi releases <package> ...
List the released versions for the given packages in PEP 440 order
Example:
$ qypi releases qypi { "qypi": [ { "is_prerelease": false, "release_date": "2017-04-02T03:07:42", "release_url": "https://pypi-hypernode.com/project/qypi/0.1.0", "version": "0.1.0" }, { "is_prerelease": false, "release_date": "2017-04-02T03:32:44", "release_url": "https://pypi-hypernode.com/project/qypi/0.1.0.post1", "version": "0.1.0.post1" } ] }
A release’s release date is the time at which its first file was uploaded. If there are no files associated with a release, its release date will be null.
owner
qypi owner <package> ...
List the PyPI users that own and/or maintain the given packages
Example:
$ qypi owner requests { "requests": [ { "role": "Owner", "user": "graffatcolmingov" }, { "role": "Owner", "user": "kennethreitz" }, { "role": "Owner", "user": "Lukasa" }, { "role": "Maintainer", "user": "graffatcolmingov" }, { "role": "Maintainer", "user": "Lukasa" }, { "role": "Maintainer", "user": "nateprewitt" } ] }
Release Information
These subcommands show information about individual package releases/versions and share the same command-line options and argument syntax.
Arguments of the form package==version (e.g., qypi info qypi==0.1.0) always refer to the given version of the given package.
Arguments that are just a package name refer to (by default) the highest-numbered non-prerelease version of the package. This can be changed with the following options:
- -A, --all-versions
Show information for all versions of each package (in PEP 440 order, excluding prereleases unless --pre is given)
- --latest-version
Show information for only the latest version of each package; this is the default
- --newest
Define “latest version” to mean the most recently released version. Release dates are based on file upload times; releases without file uploads are thus ignored.
- --highest
Define “latest version” to mean the highest-numbered version; this is the default.
- --pre
Include prerelease & development versions
- --no-pre
Don’t include prerelease & development versions; this is the default.
info
qypi info [<options>] [--description] [--trust-downloads] <package[==version]> ...
Show basic information about the given package releases.
By default, (long) descriptions are omitted because they can be very long, and it is recommended that you view them with the readme subcommand instead; use the --description option to include them anyway.
By default, download counts are omitted because the feature is currently broken & unreliable; use the --trust-downloads option if you want to see the values anyway.
Example:
$ qypi info qypi [ { "bugtrack_url": null, "classifiers": [ "Development Status :: 4 - Beta", "Environment :: Console", "Intended Audience :: Developers", "Intended Audience :: Information Technology", "License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License", "Programming Language :: Python :: 3", "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.4", "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.5", "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.6", "Programming Language :: Python :: 3 :: Only", "Topic :: Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules", "Topic :: System :: Software Distribution" ], "docs_url": null, "download_url": null, "keywords": "pypi warehouse search packages pip", "license": "MIT", "name": "qypi", "people": [ { "email": "qypi@varonathe.org", "name": "John Thorvald Wodder II", "role": "author" } ], "platform": null, "project_url": "https://pypi-hypernode.com/project/qypi/", "release_date": "2017-04-02T03:32:44", "release_url": "https://pypi-hypernode.com/project/qypi/0.1.0.post1/", "requires_python": "~=3.4", "summary": "Query PyPI from the command line", "url": "https://github.com/jwodder/qypi", "version": "0.1.0.post1" } ]
readme
qypi readme [<options>] <package[==version]> ...
Display the given package releases’ (long) descriptions in a pager one at a time. list and readme are the only subcommands that do not output JSON.
files
qypi files [<options>] [--trust-downloads] <package[==version]> ...
List files available for download for the given package releases. Download counts are omitted because the feature is currently broken & unreliable; use the --trust-downloads option if you want to see the values anyway.
Example:
$ qypi files qypi [ { "files": [ { "comment_text": "", "digests": { "md5": "58863d77e19bf4aa1ae85026cc1ff0f6", "sha256": "5946a4557550479af90278e5418cd2c32a2626936075078a4c7096be52d43078" }, "filename": "qypi-0.1.0.post1-py3-none-any.whl", "has_sig": true, "md5_digest": "58863d77e19bf4aa1ae85026cc1ff0f6", "packagetype": "bdist_wheel", "python_version": "py3", "size": 13590, "upload_time": "2017-04-02T03:32:44", "url": "https://pypi-hypernode.com/packages/f9/3f/6b184713e79da15cd451f0dab91864633175242f4d321df0cacdd2dc8300/qypi-0.1.0.post1-py3-none-any.whl" }, { "comment_text": "", "digests": { "md5": "bfd357b3df2c2f1cbb6d23ff7c61fbb9", "sha256": "c99eea315455cf9fde722599ab67eeefdff5c184bb3861a7fd82f8a9387c252d" }, "filename": "qypi-0.1.0.post1.tar.gz", "has_sig": true, "md5_digest": "bfd357b3df2c2f1cbb6d23ff7c61fbb9", "packagetype": "sdist", "python_version": "source", "size": 8975, "upload_time": "2017-04-02T03:32:46", "url": "https://pypi-hypernode.com/packages/0e/49/3056ee68b44c8eab4d4698b52ae4d18c0db92c80abc312894c02c4722621/qypi-0.1.0.post1.tar.gz" } ], "name": "qypi", "version": "0.1.0.post1" } ]
