💖 PYPI-INSTALL(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because pypi-install is genuinely one of those little commands that just gets you. it lives in the User Commands section of the manual, and it's about to make your whole Python-packaging situation slay. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

pypi-install — downloads Python package from PyPI, creates Debian package and then installs it 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

here's the vibe, fr fr:

usage: pypi-install PACKAGE_NAME [options] [py2dsc-deb options]

so you hand it a PACKAGE_NAME, and it goes off and does the whole glow-up pipeline for you: grabs the package from PyPI, turns it into a Debian package, and then installs it. it's giving "I'll handle it, you go be the main character." 👑

also, heads up: you can pass it [options] of its own, and you can also pass it [py2dsc-deb options] — those get handed along too. iykyk. 🦋

🧚 options: 🧚

  • -h, --help — shows this help message and then dips. classic. ✨
  • --verbose VERBOSE — sets the verbosity level. so like, how much it yaps at you. VERBOSE is the value you give it. 🗣️
  • --release RELEASE — lets you specify a particular release. you want that one, not the newest one? say it here with RELEASE. 🎯
  • --keep — do not remove temporary files. it leaves the temp files exactly where they are instead of cleaning up after itself. 💀
  • --allow-unsafe-download — allow unsafe downloads. that's literally what it does, bestie. read it again. unsafe. it's right there in the name. 🙈
ngl, that last one is a whole mood and also a whole warning. the option is called unsafe. proceed like the icon you are, but proceed knowing. 💅
