PPS -- Python Package Index Search
Search the PyPI for packages by name, which was done by pip search
in the past.
This was heavily inspired by pip_search which looks fantastic but is a little slow. Also the output is unnecessary hard to process by other command line tools.
Features
- Search the Python Package Index by package name
- show download statistics
- sort by name, release date, or number of downloads
Installation
cargo install pps
or get a pre-build linux x86-64 release
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin && wget https://github.com/tbehner/pps/releases/download/0.2.1/pps -O ~/.local/bin/pps && chmod +x ~/.local/bin/pps
and make sure to include ~/.local/bin
on your PATH
.
To keep muscle memory in place, you can use
alias pip='function _pip(){
if [ $1 = "search" ]; then
pps "$2";
else pip "$@";
fi;
};_pip
