Help users to dynamically manage python package resources and bid farewell to the constraints of the requirements.txt file.

Build-in `pip`

Dynamic-Pip

Through DynamicPip class object, dynamically manage (install, delete, etc.) python packages during the execution of the program. In addition, compared to build-in pip, dynamic-pip also supports some extended functions.

📚 Documentation 文档

Example: Install the numpy package at runtime

from dynamicPip import DynamicPip

dynamic_pip = DynamicPip()

# declare target package
target_package = 'numpy==1.21.6'

# install
print(f'----- install {target_package} test -----')
rtn = dynamic_pip.install_package(target_package)
print(f'return result code {rtn}\n')

# check package list
print(f'----- list {target_package} test -----')
rtn = DynamicPip.list_package()
print(f'return result {rtn}\n')

# uninstall single package
print(f'----- uninstall {target_package} test -----')
rtn = DynamicPip.remove_package(target_package)
print(f'return result code {rtn}\n')

del dynamic_pip

Example: Build a requirement map

from dynamicPip import DynamicPip

dynamic_pip = DynamicPip()

dynamic_pip.generate_requires_map()

Example: List all installed packages. (pip list)

# check package as dict. (key = package name, value = version )
rtn = dynamic_pip.list_package()
print(f'return result {rtn}\n')

Example: Generate a requirement map

dynamic_pip.generate_requires_map(target_output_requirements__map_file_name)
