pip-review
==========

*Looking for a new maintainer! See https://github.com/jgonggrijp/pip-review/issues/76.*

``pip-review`` is a convenience wrapper around ``pip``. It can list available updates by deferring to ``pip list --outdated``. It can also automatically or interactively install available updates for you by deferring to ``pip install``.

Example, report-only:

.. code:: console

$ pip-review
requests==0.13.4 is available (you have 0.13.2)
redis==2.4.13 is available (you have 2.4.9)
rq==0.3.2 is available (you have 0.3.0)

Example, actually install everything:

.. code:: console

$ pip-review --auto
...

Example, run interactively, ask to upgrade for each package:

.. code:: console

$ pip-review --interactive
requests==0.14.0 is available (you have 0.13.2)
Upgrade now? [Y]es, [N]o, [A]ll, [Q]uit y
...
redis==2.6.2 is available (you have 2.4.9)
Upgrade now? [Y]es, [N]o, [A]ll, [Q]uit n
rq==0.3.2 is available (you have 0.3.0)
Upgrade now? [Y]es, [N]o, [A]ll, [Q]uit y
...

Example, preview for update target list by ``pip list --outdated`` format, with run interactively or install everything:

.. code:: console

$ pip-review --interactive --preview
Package Version Latest Type
-----------------------------
redis 2.4.9 2.6.2 wheel
requests 0.13.2 0.14.0 wheel
rq 0.3.0 0.3.4 wheel
-----------------------------
... < --interactive processing >

.. code:: console

$ pip-review --auto --preview
...

Example, only preview for update target list:

.. code:: console

$ pip-review --preview-only
Package Version Latest Type
-----------------------------
redis 2.4.9 2.6.2 wheel
requests 0.13.2 0.14.0 wheel
rq 0.3.0 0.3.4 wheel
-----------------------------

Run ``pip-review -h`` for a complete overview of the options.

Note: If you want to pin specific packages to prevent them from automatically
being upgraded, you can use a constraint file (similar to ``requirements.txt``):

.. code:: console

$ export PIP_CONSTRAINT="${HOME}/constraints.txt"
$ cat $PIP_CONSTRAINT
pyarrow==0.14.1
pandas<0.24.0

$ pip-review --auto
...

Set this variable in ``.bashrc`` or ``.zshenv`` to make it persistent.
Alternatively, this option can be specified in ``pip.conf``, e.g.:

* Linux:

.. code:: console

$ cat ~/.config/pip/pip.conf
[global]
constraint = /home/username/constraints.txt

* Windows:

.. code:: console

$ cat $HOME\AppData\Roaming\pip\pip.ini
[global]
constraint = '$HOME\Roaming\pip\constraints.txt'

The conf file are dependent of the user, so If you use multiple users you must define config file for each of them.
https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#constraints-files

Since version 0.5, you can also invoke pip-review as ``python -m pip_review``. This can be useful if you are using multiple versions of Python next to each other.

Before version 1.0, ``pip-review`` had its own logic for finding package updates instead of relying on ``pip list --outdated``.

Like ``pip``, ``pip-review`` updates **all** packages, including ``pip`` and ``pip-review``.

Installation
============

To install, simply use pip:

.. code:: console

$ pip install pip-review

Decide for yourself whether you want to install the tool system-wide, or
inside a virtual env. Both are supported.

Testing
=======

To test with your active Python version:

.. code:: console

$ ./run-tests.sh

To test under all (supported) Python versions:

.. code:: console

$ tox

The tests run quite slow, since they actually interact with PyPI, which
involves downloading packages, etc. So please be patient.

Origins
=======

``pip-review`` was originally part of pip-tools_ but
has been discontinued_ as such. See `Pin Your Packages`_ by Vincent
Driessen for the original introduction. Since there are still use cases, the
tool now lives on as a separate package.
