pypa/pipx

Package renamed to pipx-app in v0.10.0. Users of < 0.10 must re-install.

As suggested in #2, pipx's package name was changed to pipx-app to avoid the name conflict with another project named pipx.

Thus pipx users who have already installed this pipx package with a version less than 0.10 will need to uninstall it and all its packages, then re-install everything. (This is due to path assumptions made by pipx based on package name; it assumes the virtual env's name matches the package's name.)

The end-user experience will be identical (you can still just call pipx from the command line), but some of the paths pipx uses behind the scenes will be changed.

pipx uninstall-all
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cs01/pipx/master/get-pipx.py | python3
# reinstall packages

This was a one-time rename. Thank you for your understanding!

EDIT: changed from pipx uninstall pipx to pipx uninstall-all

It's currently impossible to uninstall pipx as suggested:

$ pipx upgrade-all
A virtual environment for pipx was detected at /usr/home/neersighted/.local/share/pipx/venvs/pipx. The 'pipx' package has been renamed to 'pipx-app'. Please reinstall pipx:

Thanks for letting me know! This has been fixed in 0.10.2.1

Existing venvs break after installing pipx-app due to the python symlinks.

Darn. I guess the instructions should be

pipx uninstall-all

I'll edit the initial issue.
