# Scoop-Python [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/TheRandomLabs/scoop-python/branch/master)
A [Scoop](https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop) bucket for Python applications that do not provide
standalone executables.
$ scoop bucket add python https://github.com/TheRandomLabs/Scoop-Python.git
This bucket is an alternative to using pip to install these packages.
Also check out my [personal bucket](https://github.com/TheRandomLabs/Scoop-Bucket)
and my [Spotify/Spicetify bucket](https://github.com/TheRandomLabs/Scoop-Spotify)!
## Motivation
* pip does not have a built-in functionality to update all packages. This is inconvenient for
command-line tools and other executable applications such as HTTPie.
* pip does not have a simple way to preserve packages between Python updates. Again, this is
inconvenient for command-line tools and other executable applications such as HTTPie.
* Python virtual environments should be used to install other packages, so only executable
applications are accepted into this bucket.
## Drawbacks
* For the purpose of avoiding conflicts, uninstalling a package in this bucket will not
uninstall its dependencies.
* For local installs, binaries may not be added to PATH due to
[ScoopInstaller/Main#772](https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main/issues/772).
* Packages installed globally from this bucket will need to be migrated for any Python update.
* Packages installed locally from this bucket will need to be migrated for any minor or major
Python update.
* Installing `mypy-py` requires either Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 to be installed or `typed_ast`
to be installed first through pip:
```powershell
$ pip install --upgrade typed_ast
```
## migrate-python-packages
* A script to migrate packages in this bucket between Python versions is provided as a dependency.
```powershell
$ migrate-python-packages --help
```
* For example, to update Python and all packages in this bucket:
```powershell
# Update Python first so that fewer migrations are required if there are also updates for packages in this bucket
scoop update python
scoop update *
migrate-python-packages
```
