PyPI GUI Package Manager

The PyPI GUI Package Manager is a simple and user-friendly graphical interface for managing Python packages from the Python Package Index (PyPI). It provides an intuitive way to search for packages, install, and upgrade them without needing to use the command line.

Features

• Search Packages: Easily search for Python packages on PyPI using keywords.
• Install Packages: Install packages with a single click.
• Upgrade Packages: Keep your packages up to date by upgrading them with a simple click.
• User-Friendly Interface: Designed for ease of use and a pleasant user experience.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or higher | Download python ↗
• pip and tkinter should be installed with your Python distribution.

Installation

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/bondeabhijeet/Pypi-GUI-package-manager.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd Pypi-GUI-package-manager

3. Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

To launch the PyPI GUI Package Manager, run the following command:

python main.py

The application will open, and you can start searching for, installing, and upgrading Python packages from PyPI with ease.

Building the .exe (--onefile) or an uncompressed folder (--onedir)

Using PyInstaller to create a standalone executable from a Python script

1. PyInstaller Installation: Before you can use PyInstaller, you need to have it installed. You can install it using pip:

pip install pyinstaller

2. Open the terminal or command prompt, navigate to the directory containing your main.py and favicon.ico files, and then run the PyInstaller command:

for onedir (will generate a folder containing a exe and the unpacked files) refer:

pyinstaller --name pypi-gui-package-manager --icon=favicon.ico --onedir main.py

for onefile:

pyinstaller --name pypi-gui-package-manager --icon=favicon.ico --onefile main.py

After running this command, PyInstaller will generate a standalone executable in the dist directory within your current working directory. The name of the executable will be "pypi-gui-package-manager". You can then distribute this executable to others who can run it without needing to install Python or any additional dependencies.
