pipsi

The change has been made for my use of conda instead of virtualenv.

Boostrapping and Installation:

cd $HOME
conda create -p ~/.local/venvs/pipsi --no-default-packages pip
./.local/venvs/pipsi/bin/pip install git+https://www.github.com/feigaoxyz/pipsi.git
ln -s ~/.local/venvs/pipsi/bin/pipsi ~/.local/bin/pipsi

You can read the original README below for usage.

pipsi = pip script installer

What does it do? pipsi is a wrapper around virtualenv and pip which installs scripts provided by python packages into separate virtualenvs to shield them from your system and each other.

In other words: you can use pipsi to install things like pygmentize without making your system painful.

How do I get it?

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mitsuhiko/pipsi/master/get-pipsi.py | python

How does it work?

pipsi installs each package into ~/.local/venvs/PKGNAME and then symlinks all new scripts into ~/.local/bin.

Installing scripts from a package:

$ pipsi install Pygments

Uninstalling packages and their scripts:

$ pipsi uninstall Pygments

Upgrading a package:

$ pipsi upgrade Pygments

Showing what's installed:

$ pipsi list

How do I get rid of pipsi?

$ pipsi uninstall pipsi

How do I upgrade pipsi? With 0.5 and later just do this:

$ pipsi upgrade pipsi

On older versions just uninstall and reinstall.
