pipx

Speed up operations by using shared venv for pip , setuptools , and wheel . You can see more detail in the ‘how pipx works’ section of the documentation. (#164, @pfmoore)

Breaking change: for the inject command, change --include-binaries to --include-apps

Change all terminology from binary to app or application

Improve argument parsing for pipx run and pipx runpip

If --force is passed, remove existing files in PIPX_BIN_DIR

Move animation to start of line, hide cursor when animating

Fix regression when installing a package that doesn’t have any entry points

Remove unnecessary and sometimes incorrect check after pipx inject (#195)

Make status text/animation reliably disappear before continuing

Update animation symbols

Remove virtual environment if installation did not complete. For example, if it was interrupted by ctrl+c or if an exception occurred for any reason. (#193)

Add shell autocompletion. Also add pipx completions command to print instructions on how to add pipx completions to your shell.

Un-deprecate ensurepath . Use userpath internally instead of instructing users to run the userpath cli command.

Improve detection of PIPX_BIN_DIR not being on PATH

Improve error message when an existing symlink exists in PIPX_BIN_DIR and points to the wrong location

Improve handling of unexpected files in PIPX_HOME (@uranusjr)

swap out of order logic in order to correctly recommend –include-deps (@joshuarli)

[dev] Migrate from tox to nox

Do not raise bare exception if no binaries found (#150)

Update pipsi migration script

Deprecate ensurepath command. Use userpath append ~/.local/bin

Support redirects and proxies when downloading python files (i.e. pipx run http://url/file.py )

Use tox for document generation and CI testing (CI tests are now functional rather than static tests on style and formatting!)

Use mkdocs for documentation

Change default cache duration for pipx run from 2 to 14 days

Fix upgrade-all and reinstall-all regression

Add runpip command to run arbitrary pip commands in pipx-managed virtual environments

Do not raise error when running pipx install PACKAGE and the package has already been installed by pipx (#125). This is the cause of the major version change from 0.12 to 0.13.

Add --skip argument to upgrade-all and reinstall-all commands, to let the user skip particular packages

Update logic in determining a package’s binaries during installation. This removes spurious binaries from the installation. (#104)

Improve compatibility with Debian distributions by using shutil.which instead of distutils.spawn.find_executable (#102)

Fix infinite recursion error when installing package such as cloudtoken==0.1.84 (#103)

Fix windows type errors (#96, #98)

Fix “WindowsPath is not iterable” bug

Add --include-deps argument to include binaries of dependent packages when installing with pipx. This improves compatibility with packages that depend on other installed packages, such as jupyter .

Speed up pipx list output (by running multiple processes in parallel) and by collecting all metadata in a single subprocess call

More aggressive cache directory removal when --no-cache is passed to pipx run

[dev] Move inline text passed to subprocess calls to their own files to enable autoformatting, linting, unit testing

Add support for PEP 582’s pypackages (experimental). pipx run BINARY will first search in pypackages for binary, then fallback to installing from PyPI. pipx run --pypackages BINARY will raise an error if the binary is not found in pypackages .

Fix regression when installing with --editable flag (#93)

[dev] improve unit tests

Cache and reuse temporary Virtual Environments created with pipx run (#61)

Update binary discovery logic to find “scripts” like awscli (#91)

Forward --pip-args to the pip upgrade command (previously the args were forwarded to install/upgrade commands for packages) (#77)

When using environment variable PIPX_HOME, Virtual Environments will now be created at $PIPX_HOME/venvs rather than at $PIPX_HOME .

[dev] refactor into multiple files, add more unit tests

Fix parsing bug in pipx run

list python2 as supported language so that pip installs with python2 will no longer install the pipx on PyPI from the original pipx owner. Running pipx with python2 will fail, but at least it will not be as confusing as running the pipx package from the original owner.

forward arguments to run command correctly #90

stop using unverified context #89

Change installation instructions to use pipx PyPI name

Add ensurepath command
