–force-reinstall Before installing a package, will uninstall it first if already installed. Pretty much the same as running pip uninstall -y dep && pip install dep for package and its every dependency. –ignore-installed Ignores whether the package and its deps are already installed, overwriting installed files. This means that you can have a situation where … Read more
It’s perhaps a little inelegant, but it appears that you can go to the URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/<package> And you will get a bunch of links to tarballs for the package. Ex: https://pypi.python.org/simple/django-filebrowser-no-grappelli/
This is kind of an old question at this point, but I noticed the same thing about a package I have on PyPI and investigated further. It turns out PyPI keeps reasonably detailed download statistics, including (apparently slightly anonymised) user agents. From that, it was apparent that most people downloading my package were things like … Read more
As of March 16, 2018, PyPI.org aka Warehouse (finally) supports Markdown in long descriptions. Warehouse replaced the old legacy PyPI implementation in April 2018. You need to: Make sure setuptools is upgraded to version 38.6.0 or newer Make sure twine is upgraded to version 1.11.0 or newer Make sure wheel is upgraded to version 0.31.0 … Read more
requirements.txt: -i http://dist.repoze.org/zope2/2.10/simple zopelib Example: $ pip install -r requirements.txt … Successfully installed zopelib
As far as I know, setuptools doesn’t support using a list of strings in order to specify multiple authors. Your best bet is to list the authors in a single string: author=”Foo Bar, Spam Eggs”, author_email=”foobar@baz.com, spameggs@joe.org”, I’m not sure if PyPI validates the author_email field, so you may run into trouble with that one. … Read more
Upgrade pip as follows: curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python Note: You may need to use sudo python above if not in a virtual environment. What’s happening: Python.org sites are stopping support for TLS versions 1.0 and 1.1. This means that Mac OS X version 10.12 (Sierra) or older will not be able to use pip unless they upgrade … Read more
Note: The solution below only works when installing a source distribution zip or tarball, or installing in editable mode from a source tree. It will not work when installing from a binary wheel (.whl) This solution is more transparent: You will make a few additions to setup.py and there is no need for an extra … Read more
I would recommend Pandoc, the “swiss-army knife for converting files from one markup format into another” (check out the diagram of supported conversions at the bottom of the page, it is quite impressive). Pandoc allows markdown to reStructuredText translation directly. There is also an online editor here which lets you try it out, so you … Read more
python setup.py uses distutils which doesn’t support install_requires. setuptools does, also distribute (its successor), and pip (which uses either) do. But you actually have to use them. I.e. call setuptools through the easy_install command or pip install. Another way is to import setup from setuptools in your setup.py, but this not standard and makes everybody … Read more
