  Proceed (y/n)? y


  Successfully uninstalled SomePackage

INSTALLATION¶

Do I need to install pip?¶

pip is already installed if you're using Python 2 >=2.7.9 or Python 3 >=3.4 binaries downloaded from python.org, but you'll need to upgrade pip.

Additionally, pip will already be installed if you're working in a Virtual Environment created by virtualenv or pyvenv.

Installing with get-pip.py¶

To install pip, securely download get-pip.py. [2]

Then run the following:

python get-pip.py

WARNING:

Be cautious if you're using a Python install that's managed by your operating system or another package manager. get-pip.py does not coordinate with those tools, and may leave your system in an inconsistent state.

get-pip.py will also install setuptools [3] and wheel, if they're not already. setuptools is required to install source distributions. Both are required to be able to build a Wheel cache (which improves installation speed), although neither are required to install pre-built wheels.

NOTE:

The get-pip.py script is supported on the same python version as pip. For the now unsupported Python 3.2, an alternate script is available here.

get-pip.py options¶

--no-setuptools: If set, don't attempt to install setuptools

--no-wheel: If set, don't attempt to install wheel

Additionally, get-pip.py supports using the pip install options and the general options. Below are some examples:

Install from local copies of pip and setuptools:

python get-pip.py --no-index --find-links=/local/copies

Install to the user site [4]:

python get-pip.py --user

Install behind a proxy:

python get-pip.py --proxy="[user:passwd@]proxy.server:port"

Using Linux Package Managers¶

See Installing pip/setuptools/wheel with Linux Package Managers in the Python Packaging User Guide.

Upgrading pip¶

On Linux or macOS:

pip install -U pip

On Windows [5]:

python -m pip install -U pip

Python and OS Compatibility¶

pip works with CPython versions 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 and also pypy.

This means pip works on the latest patch version of each of these minor versions (i.e. 2.6.9 for 2.6, etc). Previous patch versions are supported on a best effort approach.

pip works on Unix/Linux, macOS, and Windows.

[2]: "Secure" in this context means using a modern browser or a tool like curl that verifies SSL certificates when downloading from https URLs.
[3]: Beginning with pip v1.5.1, get-pip.py stopped requiring setuptools to be installed first.
[4]: The pip developers are considering making --user the default for all installs, including get-pip.py installs of pip, but at this time, --user installs for pip itself, should not be considered to be fully tested or endorsed. For discussion, see Issue 1668.

Installing Packages¶

pip supports installing from PyPI, version control, local projects, and directly from distribution files.

The most common scenario is to install from PyPI using Requirement Specifiers

$ pip install SomePackage            # latest version
$ pip install SomePackage==1.0.4     # specific version
$ pip install 'SomePackage>=1.0.4'     # minimum version

For more information and examples, see the pip install reference.

Requirements Files¶

"Requirements files" are files containing a list of items to be installed using pip install like so:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Details on the format of the files are here: Requirements File Format.

Logically, a Requirements file is just a list of pip install arguments placed in a file. Note that you should not rely on the items in the file being installed by pip in any particular order.

In practice, there are 4 common uses of Requirements files:

1.: Requirements files are used to hold the result from pip freeze for the purpose of achieving repeatable installations. In this case, your requirement file contains a pinned version of everything that was installed when pip freeze was run.

pip freeze > requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements.txt

2.: Requirements files are used to force pip to properly resolve dependencies. As it is now, pip doesn't have true dependency resolution, but instead simply uses the first specification it finds for a project. E.g if pkg1 requires pkg3>=1.0 and pkg2 requires pkg3>=1.0,<=2.0, and if pkg1 is resolved first, pip will only use pkg3>=1.0, and could easily end up installing a version of pkg3 that conflicts with the needs of pkg2. To solve this problem, you can place pkg3>=1.0,<=2.0 (i.e. the correct specification) into your requirements file directly along with the other top level requirements. Like so:

pkg1
pkg2
pkg3>=1.0,<=2.0

3.: Requirements files are used to force pip to install an alternate version of a sub-dependency. For example, suppose ProjectA in your requirements file requires ProjectB, but the latest version (v1.3) has a bug, you can force pip to accept earlier versions like so:

ProjectA
ProjectB<1.3

4.: Requirements files are used to override a dependency with a local patch that lives in version control. For example, suppose a dependency, SomeDependency from PyPI has a bug, and you can't wait for an upstream fix. You could clone/copy the src, make the fix, and place it in VCS with the tag sometag. You'd reference it in your requirements file with a line like so:

git+https://myvcs.com/some_dependency@sometag#egg=SomeDependency

If SomeDependency was previously a top-level requirement in your requirements file, then replace that line with the new line. If SomeDependency is a sub-dependency, then add the new line.

It's important to be clear that pip determines package dependencies using install_requires metadata, not by discovering requirements.txt files embedded in projects.

Constraints Files¶

Constraints files are requirements files that only control which version of a requirement is installed, not whether it is installed or not. Their syntax and contents is nearly identical to Requirements Files. There is one key difference: Including a package in a constraints file does not trigger installation of the package.

Use a constraints file like so:

pip install -c constraints.txt

Constraints files are used for exactly the same reason as requirements files when you don't know exactly what things you want to install. For instance, say that the "helloworld" package doesn't work in your environment, so you have a local patched version. Some things you install depend on "helloworld", and some don't.

One way to ensure that the patched version is used consistently is to manually audit the dependencies of everything you install, and if "helloworld" is present, write a requirements file to use when installing that thing.

Constraints files offer a better way: write a single constraints file for your organisation and use that everywhere. If the thing being installed requires "helloworld" to be installed, your fixed version specified in your constraints file will be used.

Constraints file support was added in pip 7.1.

Installing from Wheels¶

"Wheel" is a built, archive format that can greatly speed installation compared to building and installing from source archives. For more information, see the Wheel docs , PEP427, and PEP425

Pip prefers Wheels where they are available. To disable this, use the --no-binary flag for pip install.

If no satisfactory wheels are found, pip will default to finding source archives.

To install directly from a wheel archive:

pip install SomePackage-1.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl

For the cases where wheels are not available, pip offers pip wheel as a convenience, to build wheels for all your requirements and dependencies.

pip wheel requires the wheel package to be installed, which provides the "bdist_wheel" setuptools extension that it uses.

To build wheels for your requirements and all their dependencies to a local directory:

pip install wheel
pip wheel --wheel-dir=/local/wheels -r requirements.txt

And then to install those requirements just using your local directory of wheels (and not from PyPI):

pip install --no-index --find-links=/local/wheels -r requirements.txt

Uninstalling Packages¶

pip is able to uninstall most packages like so:

$ pip uninstall SomePackage

pip also performs an automatic uninstall of an old version of a package before upgrading to a newer version.

For more information and examples, see the pip uninstall reference.

Listing Packages¶

To list installed packages:

$ pip list
docutils (0.9.1)
Jinja2 (2.6)
Pygments (1.5)
Sphinx (1.1.2)

To list outdated packages, and show the latest version available:

$ pip list --outdated
docutils (Current: 0.9.1 Latest: 0.10)
Sphinx (Current: 1.1.2 Latest: 1.1.3)

To show details about an installed package:

$ pip show sphinx
---
Name: Sphinx
Version: 1.1.3
Location: /my/env/lib/pythonx.x/site-packages
Requires: Pygments, Jinja2, docutils

For more information and examples, see the pip list and pip show reference pages.

Searching for Packages¶

pip can search PyPI for packages using the pip search command:

$ pip search "query"

The query will be used to search the names and summaries of all packages.

For more information and examples, see the pip search reference.

Configuration¶

Config file¶

pip allows you to set all command line option defaults in a standard ini style config file.

The names and locations of the configuration files vary slightly across platforms. You may have per-user, per-virtualenv or site-wide (shared amongst all users) configuration:

Per-user:

On Unix the default configuration file is: $HOME/.config/pip/pip.conf which respects the XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable.
On macOS the configuration file is $HOME/Library/Application Support/pip/pip.conf.
On Windows the configuration file is %APPDATA%\pip\pip.ini.

There are also a legacy per-user configuration file which is also respected, these are located at:

On Unix and macOS the configuration file is: $HOME/.pip/pip.conf
On Windows the configuration file is: %HOME%\pip\pip.ini

You can set a custom path location for this config file using the environment variable PIP_CONFIG_FILE.

Inside a virtualenv:

On Unix and macOS the file is $VIRTUAL_ENV/pip.conf
On Windows the file is: %VIRTUAL_ENV%\pip.ini

Site-wide:

On Unix the file may be located in /etc/pip.conf. Alternatively it may be in a "pip" subdirectory of any of the paths set in the environment variable XDG_CONFIG_DIRS (if it exists), for example /etc/xdg/pip/pip.conf.
On macOS the file is: /Library/Application Support/pip/pip.conf
On Windows XP the file is: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\pip\pip.ini
On Windows 7 and later the file is hidden, but writeable at C:\ProgramData\pip\pip.ini
Site-wide configuration is not supported on Windows Vista

If multiple configuration files are found by pip then they are combined in the following order:

1.: Firstly the site-wide file is read, then
2.: The per-user file is read, and finally
3.: The virtualenv-specific file is read.

Each file read overrides any values read from previous files, so if the global timeout is specified in both the site-wide file and the per-user file then the latter value is the one that will be used.

The names of the settings are derived from the long command line option, e.g. if you want to use a different package index (--index-url) and set the HTTP timeout (--default-timeout) to 60 seconds your config file would look like this:

[global]
timeout = 60
index-url = http://download.zope.org/ppix

Each subcommand can be configured optionally in its own section so that every global setting with the same name will be overridden; e.g. decreasing the timeout to 10 seconds when running the freeze (Freezing Requirements) command and using 60 seconds for all other commands is possible with:

[global]
timeout = 60
[freeze]
timeout = 10

Boolean options like --ignore-installed or --no-dependencies can be set like this:

[install]
ignore-installed = true
no-dependencies = yes

To enable the boolean options --no-compile and --no-cache-dir, falsy values have to be used:

[global]
no-cache-dir = false
[install]
no-compile = no

Appending options like --find-links can be written on multiple lines:

[global]
find-links =


    http://download.example.com
[install]
find-links =


    http://mirror1.example.com


    http://mirror2.example.com

Environment Variables¶

pip's command line options can be set with environment variables using the format PIP_<UPPER_LONG_NAME> . Dashes (-) have to be replaced with underscores (_).

For example, to set the default timeout:

export PIP_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT=60

This is the same as passing the option to pip directly:

pip --default-timeout=60 [...]

To set options that can be set multiple times on the command line, just add spaces in between values. For example:

export PIP_FIND_LINKS="http://mirror1.example.com http://mirror2.example.com"

is the same as calling:

pip install --find-links=http://mirror1.example.com --find-links=http://mirror2.example.com

Config Precedence¶

Command line options have precedence over environment variables, which have precedence over the config file.

Within the config file, command specific sections have precedence over the global section.

Examples:

--host=foo overrides PIP_HOST=foo
PIP_HOST=foo overrides a config file with [global] host = foo
A command specific section in the config file [<command>] host = bar overrides the option with same name in the [global] config file section

Command Completion¶

pip comes with support for command line completion in bash, zsh and fish.

To setup for bash:

$ pip completion --bash >> ~/.profile

To setup for zsh:

$ pip completion --zsh >> ~/.zprofile

To setup for fish:

$ pip completion --fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/pip.fish

Alternatively, you can use the result of the completion command directly with the eval function of your shell, e.g. by adding the following to your startup file:

eval "`pip completion --bash`"

Installing from local packages¶

In some cases, you may want to install from local packages only, with no traffic to PyPI.

First, download the archives that fulfill your requirements:

$ pip install --download DIR -r requirements.txt

Note that pip install --download will look in your wheel cache first, before trying to download from PyPI. If you've never installed your requirements before, you won't have a wheel cache for those items. In that case, if some of your requirements don't come as wheels from PyPI, and you want wheels, then run this instead:

$ pip wheel --wheel-dir DIR -r requirements.txt

Then, to install from local only, you'll be using --find-links and --no-index like so:

$ pip install --no-index --find-links=DIR -r requirements.txt

Only if needed Recursive Upgrade¶

pip install --upgrade is currently written to perform an eager recursive upgrade, i.e. it upgrades all dependencies regardless of whether they still satisfy the new parent requirements.

E.g. supposing:

SomePackage-1.0 requires AnotherPackage>=1.0
SomePackage-2.0 requires AnotherPackage>=1.0 and OneMorePackage==1.0
SomePackage-1.0 and AnotherPackage-1.0 are currently installed
SomePackage-2.0 and AnotherPackage-2.0 are the latest versions available on PyPI.

Running pip install --upgrade SomePackage would upgrade SomePackage and AnotherPackage despite AnotherPackage already being satisfied.

pip doesn't currently have an option to do an "only if needed" recursive upgrade, but you can achieve it using these 2 steps:

pip install --upgrade --no-deps SomePackage
pip install SomePackage

The first line will upgrade SomePackage, but not dependencies like AnotherPackage. The 2nd line will fill in new dependencies like OneMorePackage.

See #59 for a plan of making "only if needed" recursive the default behavior for a new pip upgrade command.

User Installs¶

With Python 2.6 came the "user scheme" for installation, which means that all Python distributions support an alternative install location that is specific to a user. The default location for each OS is explained in the python documentation for the site.USER_BASE variable. This mode of installation can be turned on by specifying the --user option to pip install.

Moreover, the "user scheme" can be customized by setting the PYTHONUSERBASE environment variable, which updates the value of site.USER_BASE.

To install "SomePackage" into an environment with site.USER_BASE customized to '/myappenv', do the following:

export PYTHONUSERBASE=/myappenv
pip install --user SomePackage

pip install --user follows four rules:

1.: When globally installed packages are on the python path, and they conflict with the installation requirements, they are ignored, and not uninstalled.
2.: When globally installed packages are on the python path, and they satisfy the installation requirements, pip does nothing, and reports that requirement is satisfied (similar to how global packages can satisfy requirements when installing packages in a --system-site-packages virtualenv).
3.: pip will not perform a --user install in a --no-site-packages virtualenv (i.e. the default kind of virtualenv), due to the user site not being on the python path. The installation would be pointless.
4.: In a --system-site-packages virtualenv, pip will not install a package that conflicts with a package in the virtualenv site-packages. The --user installation would lack sys.path precedence and be pointless.

To make the rules clearer, here are some examples:

From within a --no-site-packages virtualenv (i.e. the default kind):

$ pip install --user SomePackage
Can not perform a '--user' install. User site-packages are not visible in this virtualenv.

From within a --system-site-packages virtualenv where SomePackage==0.3 is already installed in the virtualenv:

$ pip install --user SomePackage==0.4
Will not install to the user site because it will lack sys.path precedence

From within a real python, where SomePackage is not installed globally:

$ pip install --user SomePackage
[...]
Successfully installed SomePackage

From within a real python, where SomePackage is installed globally, but is not the latest version:

$ pip install --user SomePackage
[...]
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade)
$ pip install --user --upgrade SomePackage
[...]
Successfully installed SomePackage

From within a real python, where SomePackage is installed globally, and is the latest version:

$ pip install --user SomePackage
[...]
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade)
$ pip install --user --upgrade SomePackage
[...]
Requirement already up-to-date: SomePackage
# force the install
$ pip install --user --ignore-installed SomePackage
[...]
Successfully installed SomePackage

Ensuring Repeatability¶

pip can achieve various levels of repeatability:

Pinned Version Numbers¶

Pinning the versions of your dependencies in the requirements file protects you from bugs or incompatibilities in newly released versions:

SomePackage == 1.2.3
DependencyOfSomePackage == 4.5.6

Using pip freeze to generate the requirements file will ensure that not only the top-level dependencies are included but their sub-dependencies as well, and so on. Perform the installation using --no-deps for an extra dose of insurance against installing anything not explicitly listed.

This strategy is easy to implement and works across OSes and architectures. However, it trusts PyPI and the certificate authority chain. It also relies on indices and find-links locations not allowing packages to change without a version increase. (PyPI does protect against this.)

Hash-checking Mode¶

Beyond pinning version numbers, you can add hashes against which to verify downloaded packages:

FooProject == 1.2 --hash=sha256:2cf24dba5fb0a30e26e83b2ac5b9e29e1b161e5c1fa7425e73043362938b9824

This protects against a compromise of PyPI or the HTTPS certificate chain. It also guards against a package changing without its version number changing (on indexes that allow this). This approach is a good fit for automated server deployments.

Hash-checking mode is a labor-saving alternative to running a private index server containing approved packages: it removes the need to upload packages, maintain ACLs, and keep an audit trail (which a VCS gives you on the requirements file for free). It can also substitute for a vendor library, providing easier upgrades and less VCS noise. It does not, of course, provide the availability benefits of a private index or a vendor library.

For more, see pip install's discussion of hash-checking mode.

Installation Bundles¶

Using pip wheel, you can bundle up all of a project's dependencies, with any compilation done, into a single archive. This allows installation when index servers are unavailable and avoids time-consuming recompilation. Create an archive like this:

$ tempdir=$(mktemp -d /tmp/wheelhouse-XXXXX)
$ pip wheel -r requirements.txt --wheel-dir=$tempdir
$ cwd=`pwd`
$ (cd "$tempdir"; tar -cjvf "$cwd/bundled.tar.bz2" *)

You can then install from the archive like this:

$ tempdir=$(mktemp -d /tmp/wheelhouse-XXXXX)
$ (cd $tempdir; tar -xvf /path/to/bundled.tar.bz2)
$ pip install --force-reinstall --ignore-installed --upgrade --no-index --no-deps $tempdir/*

Note that compiled packages are typically OS- and architecture-specific, so these archives are not necessarily portable across machines.

Hash-checking mode can be used along with this method to ensure that future archives are built with identical packages.

WARNING:

Finally, beware of the setup_requires keyword arg in setup.py. The (rare) packages that use it will cause those dependencies to be downloaded by setuptools directly, skipping pip's protections. If you need to use such a package, see Controlling setup_requires.

Usage¶

pip <command> [options]

Description¶

Logging¶

Console logging¶

pip offers -v, --verbose and -q, --quiet to control the console log level.

File logging¶

pip offers the --log option for specifying a file where a maximum verbosity log will be kept. This option is empty by default. This log appends to previous logging.

Like all pip options, --log can also be set as an environment variable, or placed into the pip config file. See the Configuration section.

--exists-action option¶

This option specifies default behavior when path already exists. Possible cases: downloading files or checking out repositories for installation, creating archives. If --exists-action is not defined, pip will prompt when decision is needed.

(s)witch: Only relevant to VCS checkout. Attempt to switch the checkout to the appropriate url and/or revision.
(i)gnore: Abort current operation (e.g. don't copy file, don't create archive, don't modify a checkout).
(w)ipe: Delete the file or VCS checkout before trying to create, download, or checkout a new one.
(b)ackup: Rename the file or checkout to {name}{'.bak' * n}, where n is some number of .bak extensions, such that the file didn't exist at some point. So the most recent backup will be the one with the largest number after .bak.
(a)abort: Abort pip and return non-zero exit status.

Build System Interface¶

Pip builds packages by invoking the build system. Presently, the only supported build system is setuptools, but future developments to the Python packaging infrastructure are expected to include support for other build systems. As well as package building, the build system is also invoked to install packages direct from source.

The interface to the build system is via the setup.py command line script - all build actions are defined in terms of the specific setup.py command line that will be run to invoke the required action.

Setuptools Injection¶

As noted above, the supported build system is setuptools. However, not all packages use setuptools in their build scripts. To support projects that use "pure distutils", pip injects setuptools into sys.modules before invoking setup.py. The injection should be transparent to distutils-based projects, but 3rd party build tools wishing to provide a setup.py emulating the commands pip requires may need to be aware that it takes place.

Future Developments¶

PEP426 notes that the intention is to add hooks to project metadata in version 2.1 of the metadata spec, to explicitly define how to build a project from its source. Once this version of the metadata spec is final, pip will migrate to using that interface. At that point, the setup.py interface documented here will be retained solely for legacy purposes, until projects have migrated.

Specifically, applications should not expect to rely on there being any form of backward compatibility guarantees around the setup.py interface.

Build Options¶

The --global-option and --build-option arguments to the pip install and pip wheel inject additional arguments into the setup.py command (--build-option is only available in pip wheel). These arguments are included in the command as follows:

python setup.py <global_options> BUILD COMMAND <build_options>

The options are passed unmodified, and presently offer direct access to the distutils command line. Use of --global-option and --build-option should be considered as build system dependent, and may not be supported in the current form if support for alternative build systems is added to pip.

General Options¶

-h, --help: Show help.

--isolated: Run pip in an isolated mode, ignoring environment variables and user configuration.

-v, --verbose: Give more output. Option is additive, and can be used up to 3 times.

-V, --version: Show version and exit.

-q, --quiet: Give less output. Option is additive, and can be used up to 3 times (corresponding to WARNING, ERROR, and CRITICAL logging levels).

--log <path>: Path to a verbose appending log.

--proxy <proxy>: Specify a proxy in the form [user:passwd@]proxy.server:port.

--retries <retries>: Maximum number of retries each connection should attempt (default 5 times).

--timeout <sec>: Set the socket timeout (default 15 seconds).

--exists-action <action>: Default action when a path already exists: (s)witch, (i)gnore, (w)ipe, (b)ackup, (a)bort.

--trusted-host <hostname>: Mark this host as trusted, even though it does not have valid or any HTTPS.

--cert <path>: Path to alternate CA bundle.

--client-cert <path>: Path to SSL client certificate, a single file containing the private key and the certificate in PEM format.

--cache-dir <dir>: Store the cache data in <dir>.

--no-cache-dir: Disable the cache.

--disable-pip-version-check: Don't periodically check PyPI to determine whether a new version of pip is available for download. Implied with --no-index.

pip install [options] [-e] <local project path> ...
pip install [options] <archive url/path> ...

Description¶

Install packages from:

PyPI (and other indexes) using requirement specifiers.
VCS project urls.
Local project directories.
Local or remote source archives.

pip also supports installing from "requirements files", which provide an easy way to specify a whole environment to be installed.

Overview¶

Pip install has several stages:

1.: Identify the base requirements. The user supplied arguments are processed here.
2.: Resolve dependencies. What will be installed is determined here.
3.: Build wheels. All the dependencies that can be are built into wheels.
4.: Install the packages (and uninstall anything being upgraded/replaced).

Argument Handling¶

When looking at the items to be installed, pip checks what type of item each is, in the following order:

1.: Project or archive URL.
2.: Local directory (which must contain a setup.py, or pip will report an error).
3.: Local file (a sdist or wheel format archive, following the naming conventions for those formats).
4.: A requirement, as specified in PEP 440.

Each item identified is added to the set of requirements to be satisfied by the install.

Working Out the Name and Version¶

For each candidate item, pip needs to know the project name and version. For wheels (identified by the .whl file extension) this can be obtained from the filename, as per the Wheel spec. For local directories, or explicitly specified sdist files, the setup.py egg_info command is used to determine the project metadata. For sdists located via an index, the filename is parsed for the name and project version (this is in theory slightly less reliable than using the egg_info command, but avoids downloading and processing unnecessary numbers of files).

Any URL may use the #egg=name syntax (see VCS Support) to explicitly state the project name.

Satisfying Requirements¶

Once pip has the set of requirements to satisfy, it chooses which version of each requirement to install using the simple rule that the latest version that satisfies the given constraints will be installed (but see here for an exception regarding pre-release versions). Where more than one source of the chosen version is available, it is assumed that any source is acceptable (as otherwise the versions would differ).

Installation Order¶

As of v6.1.0, pip installs dependencies before their dependents, i.e. in "topological order". This is the only commitment pip currently makes related to order. While it may be coincidentally true that pip will install things in the order of the install arguments or in the order of the items in a requirements file, this is not a promise.

In the event of a dependency cycle (aka "circular dependency"), the current implementation (which might possibly change later) has it such that the first encountered member of the cycle is installed last.

For instance, if quux depends on foo which depends on bar which depends on baz, which depends on foo:

pip install quux
...
Installing collected packages baz, bar, foo, quux
pip install bar
...
Installing collected packages foo, baz, bar

Prior to v6.1.0, pip made no commitments about install order.

The decision to install topologically is based on the principle that installations should proceed in a way that leaves the environment usable at each step. This has two main practical benefits:

1.: Concurrent use of the environment during the install is more likely to work.
2.: A failed install is less likely to leave a broken environment. Although pip would like to support failure rollbacks eventually, in the mean time, this is an improvement.

Although the new install order is not intended to replace (and does not replace) the use of setup_requires to declare build dependencies, it may help certain projects install from sdist (that might previously fail) that fit the following profile:

1.: They have build dependencies that are also declared as install dependencies using install_requires.
2.: python setup.py egg_info works without their build dependencies being installed.
3.: For whatever reason, they don't or won't declare their build dependencies using setup_requires.

Requirements File Format¶

Each line of the requirements file indicates something to be installed, and like arguments to pip install, the following forms are supported:

[[--option]...]
<requirement specifier> [; markers] [[--option]...]
<archive url/path>
[-e] <local project path>
[-e] <vcs project url>

For details on requirement specifiers, see Requirement Specifiers.

See the pip install Examples for examples of all these forms.

A line that begins with # is treated as a comment and ignored. Whitespace followed by a # causes the # and the remainder of the line to be treated as a comment.

A line ending in an unescaped \ is treated as a line continuation and the newline following it is effectively ignored.

Comments are stripped before line continuations are processed.

The following options are supported:

-i, --index-url
--extra-index-url
--no-index
-f, --find-links
--no-binary
--only-binary
--require-hashes

For example, to specify --no-index and 2 --find-links locations:

--no-index
--find-links /my/local/archives
--find-links http://some.archives.com/archives

If you wish, you can refer to other requirements files, like this:

-r more_requirements.txt

You can also refer to constraints files, like this:

-c some_constraints.txt

Requirement Specifiers¶

pip supports installing from a package index using a requirement specifier. Generally speaking, a requirement specifier is composed of a project name followed by optional version specifiers. PEP508 contains a full specification of the format of a requirement (pip does not support the url_req form of specifier at this time).

Some examples:

SomeProject
SomeProject == 1.3
SomeProject >=1.2,<.2.0
SomeProject[foo, bar]
SomeProject~=1.4.2

Since version 6.0, pip also supports specifiers containing environment markers like so:

SomeProject ==5.4 ; python_version < '2.7'
SomeProject; sys_platform == 'win32'

Environment markers are supported in the command line and in requirements files.

NOTE:

Use quotes around specifiers in the shell when using >, <, or when using environment markers. Don't use quotes in requirement files. [1]

Per-requirement Overrides¶

Since version 7.0 pip supports controlling the command line options given to setup.py via requirements files. This disables the use of wheels (cached or otherwise) for that package, as setup.py does not exist for wheels.

The --global-option and --install-option options are used to pass options to setup.py. For example:

FooProject >= 1.2 --global-option="--no-user-cfg" \


                  --install-option="--prefix='/usr/local'" \


                  --install-option="--no-compile"

The above translates roughly into running FooProject's setup.py script as:

python setup.py --no-user-cfg install --prefix='/usr/local' --no-compile

Note that the only way of giving more than one option to setup.py is through multiple --global-option and --install-option options, as shown in the example above. The value of each option is passed as a single argument to the setup.py script. Therefore, a line such as the following is invalid and would result in an installation error.

# Invalid. Please use '--install-option' twice as shown above.
FooProject >= 1.2 --install-option="--prefix=/usr/local --no-compile"

Pre-release Versions¶

Starting with v1.4, pip will only install stable versions as specified by PEP426 by default. If a version cannot be parsed as a compliant PEP426 version then it is assumed to be a pre-release.

If a Requirement specifier includes a pre-release or development version (e.g. >=0.0.dev0) then pip will allow pre-release and development versions for that requirement. This does not include the != flag.

The pip install command also supports a --pre flag that will enable installing pre-releases and development releases.

VCS Support¶

pip supports installing from Git, Mercurial, Subversion and Bazaar, and detects the type of VCS using url prefixes: "git+", "hg+", "bzr+", "svn+".

pip requires a working VCS command on your path: git, hg, svn, or bzr.

VCS projects can be installed in editable mode (using the --editable option) or not.

For editable installs, the clone location by default is "<venv path>/src/SomeProject" in virtual environments, and "<cwd>/src/SomeProject" for global installs. The --src option can be used to modify this location.
For non-editable installs, the project is built locally in a temp dir and then installed normally. Note that if a satisfactory version of the package is already installed, the VCS source will not overwrite it without an --upgrade flag. VCS requirements pin the package version (specified in the setup.py file) of the target commit, not necessarily the commit itself.

The "project name" component of the url suffix "egg=<project name>-<version>" is used by pip in its dependency logic to identify the project prior to pip downloading and analyzing the metadata. The optional "version" component of the egg name is not functionally important. It merely provides a human-readable clue as to what version is in use. For projects where setup.py is not in the root of project, "subdirectory" component is used. Value of "subdirectory" component should be a path starting from root of the project to where setup.py is located.

So if your repository layout is:

•: pkg_dir/

setup.py # setup.py for package pkg
some_module.py

•: other_dir/

•: some_file

•: some_other_file

You'll need to use pip install -e vcs+protocol://repo_url/#egg=pkg&subdirectory=pkg_dir.

Git¶

pip currently supports cloning over git, git+http, git+https, git+ssh, git+git and git+file:

Here are the supported forms:

[-e] git://git.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject
[-e] git+http://git.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject
[-e] git+https://git.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject
[-e] git+ssh://git.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject
[-e] git+git://git.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject
[-e] git+file://git.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject
-e git+git@git.myproject.org:MyProject#egg=MyProject

Passing branch names, a commit hash or a tag name is possible like so:

[-e] git://git.myproject.org/MyProject.git@master#egg=MyProject
[-e] git://git.myproject.org/MyProject.git@v1.0#egg=MyProject
[-e] git://git.myproject.org/MyProject.git@da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709#egg=MyProject

Mercurial¶

The supported schemes are: hg+http, hg+https, hg+static-http and hg+ssh.

Here are the supported forms:

[-e] hg+http://hg.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject
[-e] hg+https://hg.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject
[-e] hg+ssh://hg.myproject.org/MyProject#egg=MyProject

You can also specify a revision number, a revision hash, a tag name or a local branch name like so:

[-e] hg+http://hg.myproject.org/MyProject@da39a3ee5e6b#egg=MyProject
[-e] hg+http://hg.myproject.org/MyProject@2019#egg=MyProject
[-e] hg+http://hg.myproject.org/MyProject@v1.0#egg=MyProject
[-e] hg+http://hg.myproject.org/MyProject@special_feature#egg=MyProject

Subversion¶

pip supports the URL schemes svn, svn+svn, svn+http, svn+https, svn+ssh.

You can also give specific revisions to an SVN URL, like so:

[-e] svn+svn://svn.myproject.org/svn/MyProject#egg=MyProject
[-e] svn+http://svn.myproject.org/svn/MyProject/trunk@2019#egg=MyProject

which will check out revision 2019. @{20080101} would also check out the revision from 2008-01-01. You can only check out specific revisions using -e svn+....

Bazaar¶

pip supports Bazaar using the bzr+http, bzr+https, bzr+ssh, bzr+sftp, bzr+ftp and bzr+lp schemes.

Here are the supported forms:

[-e] bzr+http://bzr.myproject.org/MyProject/trunk#egg=MyProject
[-e] bzr+sftp://user@myproject.org/MyProject/trunk#egg=MyProject
[-e] bzr+ssh://user@myproject.org/MyProject/trunk#egg=MyProject
[-e] bzr+ftp://user@myproject.org/MyProject/trunk#egg=MyProject
[-e] bzr+lp:MyProject#egg=MyProject

Tags or revisions can be installed like so:

[-e] bzr+https://bzr.myproject.org/MyProject/trunk@2019#egg=MyProject
[-e] bzr+http://bzr.myproject.org/MyProject/trunk@v1.0#egg=MyProject

Finding Packages¶

pip searches for packages on PyPI using the http simple interface, which is documented here and there

pip offers a number of Package Index Options for modifying how packages are found.

pip looks for packages in a number of places, on PyPI (if not disabled via `--no-index`), in the local filesystem, and in any additional repositories specified via `--find-links` or `--index-url`. There is no ordering in the locations that are searched, rather they are all checked, and the "best" match for the requirements (in terms of version number - see PEP440 for details) is selected.

See the pip install Examples.

SSL Certificate Verification¶

Starting with v1.3, pip provides SSL certificate verification over https, to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks against PyPI downloads.

Caching¶

Starting with v6.0, pip provides an on-by-default cache which functions similarly to that of a web browser. While the cache is on by default and is designed do the right thing by default you can disable the cache and always access PyPI by utilizing the --no-cache-dir option.

When making any HTTP request pip will first check its local cache to determine if it has a suitable response stored for that request which has not expired. If it does then it simply returns that response and doesn't make the request.

If it has a response stored, but it has expired, then it will attempt to make a conditional request to refresh the cache which will either return an empty response telling pip to simply use the cached item (and refresh the expiration timer) or it will return a whole new response which pip can then store in the cache.

When storing items in the cache, pip will respect the CacheControl header if it exists, or it will fall back to the Expires header if that exists. This allows pip to function as a browser would, and allows the index server to communicate to pip how long it is reasonable to cache any particular item.

While this cache attempts to minimize network activity, it does not prevent network access altogether. If you want a local install solution that circumvents accessing PyPI, see Installing from local packages.

The default location for the cache directory depends on the Operating System:

Unix: ~/.cache/pip and it respects the XDG_CACHE_HOME directory.
macOS: ~/Library/Caches/pip.
Windows: <CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA>\pip\Cache

Wheel Cache¶

Pip will read from the subdirectory wheels within the pip cache directory and use any packages found there. This is disabled via the same --no-cache-dir option that disables the HTTP cache. The internal structure of that is not part of the pip API. As of 7.0, pip makes a subdirectory for each sdist that wheels are built from and places the resulting wheels inside.

Pip attempts to choose the best wheels from those built in preference to building a new wheel. Note that this means when a package has both optional C extensions and builds py tagged wheels when the C extension can't be built that pip will not attempt to build a better wheel for Pythons that would have supported it, once any generic wheel is built. To correct this, make sure that the wheels are built with Python specific tags - e.g. pp on Pypy.

When no wheels are found for an sdist, pip will attempt to build a wheel automatically and insert it into the wheel cache.

Hash-Checking Mode¶

Since version 8.0, pip can check downloaded package archives against local hashes to protect against remote tampering. To verify a package against one or more hashes, add them to the end of the line:

FooProject == 1.2 --hash=sha256:2cf24dba5fb0a30e26e83b2ac5b9e29e1b161e5c1fa7425e73043362938b9824 \


                  --hash=sha256:486ea46224d1bb4fb680f34f7c9ad96a8f24ec88be73ea8e5a6c65260e9cb8a7

(The ability to use multiple hashes is important when a package has both binary and source distributions or when it offers binary distributions for a variety of platforms.)

The recommended hash algorithm at the moment is sha256, but stronger ones are allowed, including all those supported by hashlib. However, weaker ones such as md5, sha1, and sha224 are excluded to avoid giving a false sense of security.

Hash verification is an all-or-nothing proposition. Specifying a --hash against any requirement not only checks that hash but also activates a global hash-checking mode, which imposes several other security restrictions:

Hashes are required for all requirements. This is because a partially-hashed requirements file is of little use and thus likely an error: a malicious actor could slip bad code into the installation via one of the unhashed requirements. Note that hashes embedded in URL-style requirements via the #md5=... syntax suffice to satisfy this rule (regardless of hash strength, for legacy reasons), though you should use a stronger hash like sha256 whenever possible.
Hashes are required for all dependencies. An error results if there is a dependency that is not spelled out and hashed in the requirements file.
Requirements that take the form of project names (rather than URLs or local filesystem paths) must be pinned to a specific version using ==. This prevents a surprising hash mismatch upon the release of a new version that matches the requirement specifier.
--egg is disallowed, because it delegates installation of dependencies to setuptools, giving up pip's ability to enforce any of the above.

Hash-checking mode can be forced on with the --require-hashes command-line option:

$ pip install --require-hashes -r requirements.txt


    ...


    Hashes are required in --require-hashes mode (implicitly on when a hash is


    specified for any package). These requirements were missing hashes,


    leaving them open to tampering. These are the hashes the downloaded


    archives actually had. You can add lines like these to your requirements


    files to prevent tampering.


        pyelasticsearch==1.0 --hash=sha256:44ddfb1225054d7d6b1d02e9338e7d4809be94edbe9929a2ec0807d38df993fa


        more-itertools==2.2 --hash=sha256:93e62e05c7ad3da1a233def6731e8285156701e3419a5fe279017c429ec67ce0

This can be useful in deploy scripts, to ensure that the author of the requirements file provided hashes. It is also a convenient way to bootstrap your list of hashes, since it shows the hashes of the packages it fetched. It fetches only the preferred archive for each package, so you may still need to add hashes for alternatives archives using pip hash: for instance if there is both a binary and a source distribution.

The wheel cache is disabled in hash-checking mode to prevent spurious hash mismatch errors. These would otherwise occur while installing sdists that had already been automatically built into cached wheels: those wheels would be selected for installation, but their hashes would not match the sdist ones from the requirements file. A further complication is that locally built wheels are nondeterministic: contemporary modification times make their way into the archive, making hashes unpredictable across machines and cache flushes. Compilation of C code adds further nondeterminism, as many compilers include random-seeded values in their output. However, wheels fetched from index servers are the same every time. They land in pip's HTTP cache, not its wheel cache, and are used normally in hash-checking mode. The only downside of having the wheel cache disabled is thus extra build time for sdists, and this can be solved by making sure pre-built wheels are available from the index server.

Hash-checking mode also works with pip download and pip wheel. A comparison of hash-checking mode with other repeatability strategies is available in the User Guide.

WARNING:

Beware of the setup_requires keyword arg in setup.py. The (rare) packages that use it will cause those dependencies to be downloaded by setuptools directly, skipping pip's hash-checking. If you need to use such a package, see Controlling setup_requires.

WARNING:

Be careful not to nullify all your security work when you install your actual project by using setuptools directly: for example, by calling python setup.py install, python setup.py develop, or easy_install. Setuptools will happily go out and download, unchecked, anything you missed in your requirements file—and it’s easy to miss things as your project evolves. To be safe, install your project using pip and --no-deps.

Instead of python setup.py develop, use...

pip install --no-deps -e .

Instead of python setup.py install, use...

pip install --no-deps .

Hashes from PyPI¶

PyPI provides an MD5 hash in the fragment portion of each package download URL, like #md5=123..., which pip checks as a protection against download corruption. Other hash algorithms that have guaranteed support from hashlib are also supported here: sha1, sha224, sha384, sha256, and sha512. Since this hash originates remotely, it is not a useful guard against tampering and thus does not satisfy the --require-hashes demand that every package have a local hash.

Editable Installs¶

"Editable" installs are fundamentally "setuptools develop mode" installs.

You can install local projects or VCS projects in "editable" mode:

$ pip install -e path/to/SomeProject
$ pip install -e git+http://repo/my_project.git#egg=SomeProject

(See the VCS Support section above for more information on VCS-related syntax.)

For local projects, the "SomeProject.egg-info" directory is created relative to the project path. This is one advantage over just using setup.py develop, which creates the "egg-info" directly relative the current working directory.

Controlling setup_requires¶

Setuptools offers the setup_requires setup() keyword for specifying dependencies that need to be present in order for the setup.py script to run. Internally, Setuptools uses easy_install to fulfill these dependencies.

pip has no way to control how these dependencies are located. None of the Package Index Options have an effect.

The solution is to configure a "system" or "personal" Distutils configuration file to manage the fulfillment.

For example, to have the dependency located at an alternate index, add this:

[easy_install]
index_url = https://my.index-mirror.com

To have the dependency located from a local directory and not crawl PyPI, add this:

[easy_install]
allow_hosts = ''
find_links = file:///path/to/local/archives/

Build System Interface¶

In order for pip to install a package from source, setup.py must implement the following commands:

setup.py egg_info [--egg-base XXX]
setup.py install --record XXX [--single-version-externally-managed] [--root XXX] [--compile|--no-compile] [--install-headers XXX]

The egg_info command should create egg metadata for the package, as described in the setuptools documentation at https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html#egg-info-create-egg-metadata-and-set-build-tags

The install command should implement the complete process of installing the package to the target directory XXX.

To install a package in "editable" mode (pip install -e), setup.py must implement the following command:

setup.py develop --no-deps

This should implement the complete process of installing the package in "editable" mode.

All packages will be attempted to built into wheels:

setup.py bdist_wheel -d XXX

One further setup.py command is invoked by pip install:

setup.py clean

This command is invoked to clean up temporary commands from the build. (TODO: Investigate in more detail when this command is required).

No other build system commands are invoked by the pip install command.

Installing a package from a wheel does not invoke the build system at all.

Options¶

-c, --constraint <file>: Constrain versions using the given constraints file. This option can be used multiple times.

-e, --editable <path/url>: Install a project in editable mode (i.e. setuptools "develop mode") from a local project path or a VCS url.

-r, --requirement <file>: Install from the given requirements file. This option can be used multiple times.

-b, --build <dir>: Directory to unpack packages into and build in.

-t, --target <dir>: Install packages into <dir>. By default this will not replace existing files/folders in <dir>. Use --upgrade to replace existing packages in <dir> with new versions.

-d, --download <dir>: Download packages into <dir> instead of installing them, regardless of what's already installed.

--src <dir>: Directory to check out editable projects into. The default in a virtualenv is "<venv path>/src". The default for global installs is "<current dir>/src".

-U, --upgrade: Upgrade all specified packages to the newest available version. The handling of dependencies depends on the upgrade-strategy used.

--upgrade-strategy <upgrade_strategy>: Determines how dependency upgrading should be handled. "eager" - dependencies are upgraded regardless of whether the currently installed version satisfies the requirements of the upgraded package(s). "only-if-needed" - are upgraded only when they do not satisfy the requirements of the upgraded package(s).

--force-reinstall: When upgrading, reinstall all packages even if they are already up-to-date.

-I, --ignore-installed: Ignore the installed packages (reinstalling instead).

--ignore-requires-python: Ignore the Requires-Python information.

--no-deps: Don't install package dependencies.

--install-option <options>: Extra arguments to be supplied to the setup.py install command (use like --install-option="--install-scripts=<sys.prefix>/local/bin"). Use multiple --install-option options to pass multiple options to setup.py install. If you are using an option with a directory path, be sure to use absolute path.

--global-option <options>: Extra global options to be supplied to the setup.py call before the install command.

--user: Install to the Python user install directory for your platform. Typically ~/.local/, or %APPDATA%Python on Windows. (See the Python documentation for site.USER_BASE for full details.)

--egg: Install packages as eggs, not 'flat', like pip normally does. This option is not about installing from eggs. (WARNING: Because this option overrides pip's normal install logic, requirements files may not behave as expected.)

--root <dir>: Install everything relative to this alternate root directory.

--prefix <dir>: Installation prefix where lib, bin and other top-level folders are placed

--compile: Compile py files to pyc

--no-compile: Do not compile py files to pyc

--no-use-wheel: Do not Find and prefer wheel archives when searching indexes and find-links locations. DEPRECATED in favour of --no-binary.

--no-binary <format_control>: Do not use binary packages. Can be supplied multiple times, and each time adds to the existing value. Accepts either :all: to disable all binary packages, :none: to empty the set, or one or more package names with commas between them. Note that some packages are tricky to compile and may fail to install when this option is used on them.

--only-binary <format_control>: Do not use source packages. Can be supplied multiple times, and each time adds to the existing value. Accepts either :all: to disable all source packages, :none: to empty the set, or one or more package names with commas between them. Packages without binary distributions will fail to install when this option is used on them.

--pre: Include pre-release and development versions. By default, pip only finds stable versions.

--no-clean: Don't clean up build directories.

--require-hashes: Require a hash to check each requirement against, for repeatable installs. This option is implied when any package in a requirements file has a --hash option.

-i, --index-url <url>: Base URL of Python Package Index (default https://pypi.python.org/simple). This should point to a repository compliant with PEP 503 (the simple repository API) or a local directory laid out in the same format.

--extra-index-url <url>: Extra URLs of package indexes to use in addition to --index-url. Should follow the same rules as --index-url.

--no-index: Ignore package index (only looking at --find-links URLs instead).

-f, --find-links <url>: If a url or path to an html file, then parse for links to archives. If a local path or file:// url that's a directory, then look for archives in the directory listing.

--process-dependency-links: Enable the processing of dependency links.

Install from a local flat directory containing archives (and don't scan indexes):

$ pip install --no-index --find-links=file:///local/dir/ SomePackage
$ pip install --no-index --find-links=/local/dir/ SomePackage
$ pip install --no-index --find-links=relative/dir/ SomePackage

9.: Find pre-release and development versions, in addition to stable versions. By default, pip only finds stable versions.

$ pip install --pre SomePackage

Local or remote source archives.

pip also supports downloading from "requirements files", which provide an easy way to specify a whole environment to be downloaded.

Overview¶

pip download replaces the --download option to pip install, which is now deprecated and will be removed in pip 10.

pip download does the same resolution and downloading as pip install, but instead of installing the dependencies, it collects the downloaded distributions into the directory provided (defaulting to the current directory). This directory can later be passed as the value to pip install --find-links to facilitate offline or locked down package installation.

pip download with the --platform, --python-version, --implementation, and --abi options provides the ability to fetch dependencies for an interpreter and system other than the ones that pip is running on. --only-binary=:all: is required when using any of these options. It is important to note that these options all default to the current system/interpreter, and not to the most restrictive constraints (e.g. platform any, abi none, etc). To avoid fetching dependencies that happen to match the constraint of the current interpreter (but not your target one), it is recommended to specify all of these options if you are specifying one of them. Generic dependencies (e.g. universal wheels, or dependencies with no platform, abi, or implementation constraints) will still match an over- constrained download requirement.

Options¶

-c, --constraint <file>: Constrain versions using the given constraints file. This option can be used multiple times.

-e, --editable <path/url>: Install a project in editable mode (i.e. setuptools "develop mode") from a local project path or a VCS url.

-r, --requirement <file>: Install from the given requirements file. This option can be used multiple times.

-b, --build <dir>: Directory to unpack packages into and build in.

--no-deps: Don't install package dependencies.

--global-option <options>: Extra global options to be supplied to the setup.py call before the install command.

--no-binary <format_control>: Do not use binary packages. Can be supplied multiple times, and each time adds to the existing value. Accepts either :all: to disable all binary packages, :none: to empty the set, or one or more package names with commas between them. Note that some packages are tricky to compile and may fail to install when this option is used on them.

--only-binary <format_control>: Do not use source packages. Can be supplied multiple times, and each time adds to the existing value. Accepts either :all: to disable all source packages, :none: to empty the set, or one or more package names with commas between them. Packages without binary distributions will fail to install when this option is used on them.

--src <dir>: Directory to check out editable projects into. The default in a virtualenv is "<venv path>/src". The default for global installs is "<current dir>/src".

--pre: Include pre-release and development versions. By default, pip only finds stable versions.

--no-clean: Don't clean up build directories.

--require-hashes: Require a hash to check each requirement against, for repeatable installs. This option is implied when any package in a requirements file has a --hash option.

-d, --dest <dir>: Download packages into <dir>.

--platform <platform>: Only download wheels compatible with <platform>. Defaults to the platform of the running system.

--python-version <python_version>: Only download wheels compatible with Python interpreter version <version>. If not specified, then the current system interpreter minor version is used. A major version (e.g. '2') can be specified to match all minor revs of that major version. A minor version (e.g. '34') can also be specified.

--implementation <implementation>: Only download wheels compatible with Python implementation <implementation>, e.g. 'pp', 'jy', 'cp', or 'ip'. If not specified, then the current interpreter implementation is used. Use 'py' to force implementation-agnostic wheels.

--abi <abi>: Only download wheels compatible with Python abi <abi>, e.g. 'pypy_41'. If not specified, then the current interpreter abi tag is used. Generally you will need to specify --implementation, --platform, and --python-version when using this option.

-i, --index-url <url>: Base URL of Python Package Index (default https://pypi.python.org/simple). This should point to a repository compliant with PEP 503 (the simple repository API) or a local directory laid out in the same format.

--extra-index-url <url>: Extra URLs of package indexes to use in addition to --index-url. Should follow the same rules as --index-url.

--no-index: Ignore package index (only looking at --find-links URLs instead).

-f, --find-links <url>: If a url or path to an html file, then parse for links to archives. If a local path or file:// url that's a directory, then look for archives in the directory listing.

--process-dependency-links: Enable the processing of dependency links.

Examples¶

1.: Download a package and all of its dependencies

$ pip download SomePackage
$ pip download -d . SomePackage  # equivalent to above
$ pip download --no-index --find-links=/tmp/wheelhouse -d /tmp/otherwheelhouse SomePackage

2.

Download a package and all of its dependencies with OSX specific interpreter constraints.: This forces OSX 10.10 or lower compatibility. Since OSX deps are forward compatible, this will also match macosx-10_9_x86_64, macosx-10_8_x86_64, macosx-10_8_intel, etc. It will also match deps with platform any. Also force the interpreter version to 27 (or more generic, i.e. 2) and implementation to cp (or more generic, i.e. py).

$ pip download \


    --only-binary=:all: \


    --platform macosx-10_10_x86_64 \


    --python-version 27 \


    --implementation cp \


    SomePackage

3.

Download a package and its dependencies with linux specific constraints.: Force the interpreter to be any minor version of py3k, and only accept cp34m or none as the abi.

$ pip download \


    --only-binary=:all: \


    --platform linux_x86_64 \


    --python-version 3 \


    --implementation cp \


    --abi cp34m \


    SomePackage

4.: Force platform, implementation, and abi agnostic deps.

$ pip download \


    --only-binary=:all: \


    --platform any \


    --python-version 3 \


    --implementation py \


    --abi none \


    SomePackage

5.: Even when overconstrained, this will still correctly fetch the pip universal wheel.

$ pip download \


    --only-binary=:all: \


    --platform linux_x86_64 \


    --python-version 33 \


    --implementation cp \


    --abi cp34m \


    pip>=8
$ ls pip-8.1.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl

pip wheel [options] [-e] <vcs project url> ...
pip wheel [options] [-e] <local project path> ...
pip wheel [options] <archive url/path> ...

Description¶

Build Wheel archives for your requirements and dependencies.

Wheel is a built-package format, and offers the advantage of not recompiling your software during every install. For more details, see the wheel docs: https://wheel.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Requirements: setuptools>=0.8, and wheel.

'pip wheel' uses the bdist_wheel setuptools extension from the wheel package to build individual wheels.

Build System Interface¶

In order for pip to build a wheel, setup.py must implement the bdist_wheel command with the following syntax:

python setup.py bdist_wheel -d TARGET

This command must create a wheel compatible with the invoking Python interpreter, and save that wheel in the directory TARGET.

No other build system commands are invoked by the pip wheel command.

Customising the build¶

It is possible using --global-option to include additional build commands with their arguments in the setup.py command. This is currently the only way to influence the building of C extensions from the command line. For example:

pip wheel --global-option bdist_ext --global-option -DFOO wheel

will result in a build command of

setup.py bdist_ext -DFOO bdist_wheel -d TARGET

which passes a preprocessor symbol to the extension build.

Such usage is considered highly build-system specific and more an accident of the current implementation than a supported interface.

Options¶

-w, --wheel-dir <dir>: Build wheels into <dir>, where the default is the current working directory.

--no-use-wheel: Do not Find and prefer wheel archives when searching indexes and find-links locations. DEPRECATED in favour of --no-binary.

--no-binary <format_control>: Do not use binary packages. Can be supplied multiple times, and each time adds to the existing value. Accepts either :all: to disable all binary packages, :none: to empty the set, or one or more package names with commas between them. Note that some packages are tricky to compile and may fail to install when this option is used on them.

--only-binary <format_control>: Do not use source packages. Can be supplied multiple times, and each time adds to the existing value. Accepts either :all: to disable all source packages, :none: to empty the set, or one or more package names with commas between them. Packages without binary distributions will fail to install when this option is used on them.

--build-option <options>: Extra arguments to be supplied to 'setup.py bdist_wheel'.

-c, --constraint <file>: Constrain versions using the given constraints file. This option can be used multiple times.

-e, --editable <path/url>: Install a project in editable mode (i.e. setuptools "develop mode") from a local project path or a VCS url.

-r, --requirement <file>: Install from the given requirements file. This option can be used multiple times.

--src <dir>: Directory to check out editable projects into. The default in a virtualenv is "<venv path>/src". The default for global installs is "<current dir>/src".

--pre: Include pre-release and development versions. By default, pip only finds stable versions.

--no-clean: Don't clean up build directories.

--require-hashes: Require a hash to check each requirement against, for repeatable installs. This option is implied when any package in a requirements file has a --hash option.

-i, --index-url <url>: Base URL of Python Package Index (default https://pypi.python.org/simple). This should point to a repository compliant with PEP 503 (the simple repository API) or a local directory laid out in the same format.

Options
Example

Usage¶

pip hash [options] <file> ...

Description¶

Compute a hash of a local package archive.

These can be used with --hash in a requirements file to do repeatable installs.

Overview¶

pip hash is a convenient way to get a hash digest for use with hash-checking mode, especially for packages with multiple archives. The error message from pip install --require-hashes ... will give you one hash, but, if there are multiple archives (like source and binary ones), you will need to manually download and compute a hash for the others. Otherwise, a spurious hash mismatch could occur when pip install is passed a different set of options, like --no-binary.

Options¶

-a, --algorithm <algorithm>: The hash algorithm to use: one of sha256, sha384, sha512

Example¶

Compute the hash of a downloaded archive:

$ pip download SomePackage


    Collecting SomePackage


      Downloading SomePackage-2.2.tar.gz


      Saved ./pip_downloads/SomePackage-2.2.tar.gz


    Successfully downloaded SomePackage
$ pip hash ./pip_downloads/SomePackage-2.2.tar.gz


    ./pip_downloads/SomePackage-2.2.tar.gz:


    --hash=sha256:93e62e05c7ad3da1a233def6731e8285156701e3419a5fe279017c429ec67ce0

DEVELOPMENT¶

Pull Requests¶

Submit Pull Requests against the master branch.
Provide a good description of what you're doing and why.
Provide tests that cover your changes and try to run the tests locally first.

Example. Assuming you set up GitHub account, forked pip repository from https://github.com/pypa/pip to your own page via web interface, and your fork is located at https://github.com/yourname/pip

$ git clone git@github.com:pypa/pip.git
$ cd pip
# ...
$ git diff
$ git add <modified> ...
$ git status
$ git commit

You may reference relevant issues in commit messages (like #1259) to make GitHub link issues and commits together, and with phrase like "fixes #1259" you can even close relevant issues automatically. Now push the changes to your fork:

$ git push git@github.com:yourname/pip.git

Open Pull Requests page at https://github.com/yourname/pip/pulls and click "New pull request". That's it.

Automated Testing¶

All pull requests and merges to 'master' branch are tested in Travis based on our .travis.yml file.

Usually, a link to your specific travis build appears in pull requests, but if not, you can find it on our travis pull requests page

The only way to trigger Travis to run again for a pull request, is to submit another change to the pull branch.

We also have Jenkins CI that runs regularly for certain python versions on windows and centos.

Running tests¶

OS Requirements: subversion, bazaar, git, and mercurial.

Python Requirements: tox or pytest, virtualenv, scripttest, and mock

Ways to run the tests locally:

$ tox -e py33           # The preferred way to run the tests, can use pyNN to


                        # run for a particular version or leave off the -e to


                        # run for all versions.
$ python setup.py test  # Using the setuptools test plugin
$ py.test               # Using py.test directly
$ tox                   # Using tox against pip's tox.ini

If you are missing one of the VCS tools, you can tell py.test to skip it:

$ py.test -k 'not bzr'
$ py.test -k 'not svn'

Getting Involved¶

The pip project welcomes help in the following ways:

Making Pull Requests for code, tests, or docs.
Commenting on open issues and pull requests.
Helping to answer questions on the mailing list.

If you want to become an official maintainer, start by helping out.

Later, when you think you're ready, get in touch with one of the maintainers, and they will initiate a vote.

Release Process¶

1.: On the current pip master branch, generate a new AUTHORS.txt by running invoke generate.authors and commit the results.
2.: On the current pip master branch, make a new commit which bumps the version in pip/__init__.py to the release version and adjust the CHANGES.txt file to reflect the current date.
3.: Create a signed tag of the master branch of the form X.Y.Z using the command git tag -s X.Y.Z.
4.: Checkout the tag using git checkout X.Y.Z and create the distribution files using python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel.
5.: Upload the distribution files to PyPI using twine (twine upload -s dist/*). The upload should include GPG signatures of the distribution files.
6.: Push all of the changes.
7.: Regenerate the get-pip.py script by running invoke generate.installer in the get-pip repository, and committing the results.

Creating a Bugfix Release¶

Sometimes we need to release a bugfix release of the form X.Y.Z+1. In order to create one of these the changes should already be merged into the master branch.

1.: Create a new release/X.Y.Z+1 branch off of the X.Y.Z tag using the command git checkout -b release/X.Y.Z+1 X.Y.Z.
2.: Cherry pick the fixed commits off of the master branch, fixing any conflicts and moving any changelog entries from the development version's changelog section to the X.Y.Z+1 section.
3.: Push the release/X.Y.Z+1 branch to github and submit a PR for it against the master branch and wait for the tests to run.
4.: Once tests run, merge the release/X.Y.Z+1 branch into master, and follow the above release process starting with step 4.

Added support for installing and building wheel archives. Thanks Daniel Holth, Marcus Smith, Paul Moore, and Michele Lacchia (PR #845)
Applied security patch to pip's ssl support related to certificate DNS wildcard matching (http://bugs.python.org/issue17980).
To satisfy pip's setuptools requirement, pip now recommends setuptools>=0.8, not distribute. setuptools and distribute are now merged into one project called 'setuptools'. (PR #1003)
pip will now warn when installing a file that is either hosted externally to the index or cannot be verified with a hash. In the future pip will default to not installing them and will require the flags --allow-external NAME, and --allow-insecure NAME respectively. (PR #985)
If an already-downloaded or cached file has a bad hash, re-download it rather than erroring out. (#963).
pip bundle and support for installing from pybundle files is now considered deprecated and will be removed in pip v1.5.

Improvements to sphinx docs and cli help. (PR #773)
Fixed #707, dealing with macOS temp dir handling, which was causing global NumPy installs to fail. (PR #768)

Added support for --no-index in requirements files.
Added "pip show" command to get information about an installed package. Fixes #131. Thanks Kelsey Hightower and Rafael Caricio.
Added --root option for "pip install" to specify root directory. Behaves like the same option in distutils but also plays nice with pip's egg-info. Thanks Przemek Wrzos. (#253 / PR #693)

1.2.1 (2012-09-06)

•: Fixed a regression introduced in 1.2 about raising an exception when not finding any files to uninstall in the current environment. Thanks for the fix, Marcus Smith.

Dropped support for Python 2.4 The minimum supported Python version is now Python 2.5.
Fixed #605 - pypi mirror support broken on some DNS responses. Thanks philwhin.

Use a temporary directory as the default build location outside of a virtualenv. Fixes issues #339 and #381. Thanks Ben Rosser.
Added support for specifying extras with local editables. Thanks Nick Stenning.
Added --egg flag to request egg-style rather than flat installation. Refs #3. Thanks Kamal Bin Mustafa.
Fixed #510 - prevent e.g. gmpy2-2.0.tar.gz from matching a request to pip install gmpy; sdist filename must begin with full project name followed by a dash. Thanks casevh for the report.
Fixed #504 - allow package URLS to have querystrings. Thanks W. Trevor King.
Fixed #58 - pip freeze now falls back to non-editable format rather than blowing up if it can't determine the origin repository of an editable. Thanks Rory McCann.
Added a __main__.py file to enable python -m pip on Python versions that support it. Thanks Alexey Luchko.
Fixed #487 - upgrade from VCS url of project that does exist on index. Thanks Andrew Knapp for the report.
Fixed #486 - fix upgrade from VCS url of project with no distribution on index. Thanks Andrew Knapp for the report.
Fixed #427 - clearer error message on a malformed VCS url. Thanks Thomas Fenzl.
Added support for using any of the built in guaranteed algorithms in hashlib as a checksum hash.
Fixed #321 - Raise an exception if current working directory can't be found or accessed.
Fixed #82 - Removed special casing of the user directory and use the Python default instead.
Fixed #436 - Only warn about version conflicts if there is actually one. This re-enables using ==dev in requirements files.
Moved tests to be run on Travis CI: http://travis-ci.org/pypa/pip
Added a better help formatter.

1.1 (2012-02-16)

Fixed #326 - don't crash when a package's setup.py emits UTF-8 and then fails. Thanks Marc Abramowitz.
Added --target option for installing directly to arbitrary directory. Thanks Stavros Korokithakis.

Fixed #315 - --download now downloads dependencies as well. Thanks Qiangning Hong.
Errors from subprocesses will display the current working directory. Thanks Antti Kaihola.

Fixed #57 - ignore py2app-generated macOS mpkg zip files in finder. Thanks Rene Dudfield.
Fixed #182 - log to ~/Library/Logs/ by default on macOS framework installs. Thanks Dan Callahan for report and patch.
Fixed #310 - understand version tags without minor version ("py3") in sdist filenames. Thanks Stuart Andrews for report and Olivier Girardot for patch.
Fixed #7 - Pip now supports optionally installing setuptools "extras" dependencies; e.g. "pip install Paste[openid]". Thanks Matt Maker and Olivier Girardot.

Fixed #288 - handle symlinks properly. Thanks lebedov for the patch.
Fixed #49 - pip install -U no longer reinstalls the same versions of packages. Thanks iguananaut for the pull request.
Removed -E/--environment option and PIP_RESPECT_VIRTUALENV; both use a restart-in-venv mechanism that's broken, and neither one is useful since every virtualenv now has pip inside it. Replace pip -E path/to/venv install Foo with virtualenv path/to/venv && path/to/venv/pip install Foo.
Fixed #366 - pip throws IndexError when it calls scraped_rel_links
Fixed #22 - pip search should set and return a useful shell status code
Fixed #351 and #365 - added global --exists-action command line option to easier script file exists conflicts, e.g. from editable requirements from VCS that have a changed repo URL.

Download progress only shown on a real TTY. Thanks Alex Morega.
Fixed finding of VCS binaries to not be fooled by same-named directories. Thanks Alex Morega.
Fixed uninstall of packages from system Python for users of Debian/Ubuntu python-setuptools package (workaround until fixed in Debian and Ubuntu).
Added get-pip.py installer. Simply download and execute it, using the Python interpreter of your choice:

$ curl -O https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py
$ python get-pip.py

This may have to be run as root.

NOTE:

Make sure you have distribute installed before using the installer!

0.8.3

Avoid redundant unpacking of bundles (from pwaller)
Fixed #32, #150, #161 - Fixed checking out the correct tag/branch/commit when updating an editable Git requirement.
Fixed #49 - Added ability to install version control requirements without making them editable, e.g.:

pip install git+https://github.com/pypa/pip/

Fixed #175 - Correctly locate build and source directory on macOS.
Added git+https:// scheme to Git VCS backend.

0.8.1

Added global --user flag as shortcut for --install-option="--user". From Ronny Pfannschmidt.
Added support for PyPI mirrors as defined in PEP 381, from Jannis Leidel.
Fixed #138 - Git revisions ignored. Thanks John-Scott Atlakson.
Fixed #95 - Initial editable install of github package from a tag fails. Thanks John-Scott Atlakson.
Fixed #107 - Can't install if a directory in cwd has the same name as the package you're installing.
Fixed #39 - --install-option="--prefix=~/.local" ignored with -e. Thanks Ronny Pfannschmidt and Wil Tan.

0.8

Track which build/ directories pip creates, never remove directories it doesn't create. From Hugo Lopes Tavares.
Pip now accepts file:// index URLs. Thanks Dave Abrahams.
Various cleanup to make test-running more consistent and less fragile. Thanks Dave Abrahams.
Real Windows support (with passing tests). Thanks Dave Abrahams.
pip-2.7 etc. scripts are created (Python-version specific scripts)

A number of VCS-related fixes for pip freeze, from Hugo Lopes Tavares.
Significant test framework changes, from Hugo Lopes Tavares.

0.7.2

•: Set zip_safe=False to avoid problems some people are encountering where pip is installed as a zip file.

0.7.1

Fixed opening of logfile with no directory name. Thanks Alexandre Conrad.
Temporary files are consistently cleaned up, especially after installing bundles, also from Alex Conrad.
Tests now require at least ScriptTest 1.0.3.

0.7

Fixed uninstallation on Windows
Added pip search command.
Tab-complete names of installed distributions for pip uninstall.
Support tab-completion when there is a global-option before the subcommand.
Install header files in standard (scheme-default) location when installing outside a virtualenv. Install them to a slightly more consistent non-standard location inside a virtualenv (since the standard location is a non-writable symlink to the global location).
pip now logs to a central location by default (instead of creating pip-log.txt all over the place) and constantly overwrites the file in question. On Unix and macOS this is '$HOME/.pip/pip.log' and on Windows it's '%HOME%\\pip\\pip.log'. You are still able to override this location with the $PIP_LOG_FILE environment variable. For a complete (appended) logfile use the separate '--log' command line option.
Fixed an issue with Git that left an editable package as a checkout of a remote branch, even if the default behaviour would have been fine, too.
Fixed installing from a Git tag with older versions of Git.
Expand "~" in logfile and download cache paths.
Speed up installing from Mercurial repositories by cloning without updating the working copy multiple times.
Fixed installing directly from directories (e.g. pip install path/to/dir/).
Fixed installing editable packages with svn+ssh URLs.
Don't print unwanted debug information when running the freeze command.
Create log file directory automatically. Thanks Alexandre Conrad.
Make test suite easier to run successfully. Thanks Dave Abrahams.
Fixed "pip install ." and "pip install .."; better error for directory without setup.py. Thanks Alexandre Conrad.
Support Debian/Ubuntu "dist-packages" in zip command. Thanks duckx.
Fix relative --src folder. Thanks Simon Cross.
Handle missing VCS with an error message. Thanks Alexandre Conrad.
Added --no-download option to install; pairs with --no-install to separate download and installation into two steps. Thanks Simon Cross.
Fix uninstalling from requirements file containing -f, -i, or --extra-index-url.
Leftover build directories are now removed. Thanks Alexandre Conrad.

0.6.3

•: Fixed import error on Windows with regard to the backwards compatibility package

0.6.2

Fixed uninstall when /tmp is on a different filesystem.
Fixed uninstallation of distributions with namespace packages.

0.6.1

Fixed uninstallation of scripts installed with easy_install.
Fixed an issue in the package finder that could result in an infinite loop while looking for links.
Fixed issue with pip bundle and local files (which weren't being copied into the bundle), from Whit Morriss.

0.6

Add pip uninstall and uninstall-before upgrade (from Carl Meyer).
Extended configurability with config files and environment variables.
Allow packages to be upgraded, e.g., pip install Package==0.1 then pip install Package==0.2.
Allow installing/upgrading to Package==dev (fix "Source version does not match target version" errors).
Added command and option completion for bash and zsh.
Extended integration with virtualenv by providing an option to automatically use an active virtualenv and an option to warn if no active virtualenv is found.
Fixed a bug with pip install --download and editable packages, where directories were being set with 0000 permissions, now defaults to 755.
Fixed uninstallation of easy_installed console_scripts.
Fixed uninstallation on macOS Framework layout installs
Fixed bug preventing uninstall of editables with source outside venv.
Creates download cache directory if not existing.

0.5.1

•: Fixed a couple little bugs, with git and with extensions.

0.5

Added ability to override the default log file name (pip-log.txt) with the environmental variable $PIP_LOG_FILE.
Made the freeze command print installed packages to stdout instead of writing them to a file. Use simple redirection (e.g. pip freeze > stable-req.txt) to get a file with requirements.
Fixed problem with freezing editable packages from a Git repository.
Added support for base URLs using <base href='...'> when parsing HTML pages.
Fixed installing of non-editable packages from version control systems.
Fixed issue with Bazaar's bzr+ssh scheme.
Added --download-dir option to the install command to retrieve package archives. If given an editable package it will create an archive of it.
Added ability to pass local file and directory paths to --find-links, e.g. --find-links=file:///path/to/my/private/archive
Reduced the amount of console log messages when fetching a page to find a distribution was problematic. The full messages can be found in pip-log.txt.
Added --no-deps option to install ignore package dependencies
Added --no-index option to ignore the package index (PyPI) temporarily
Fixed installing editable packages from Git branches.
Fixes freezing of editable packages from Mercurial repositories.
Fixed handling read-only attributes of build files, e.g. of Subversion and Bazaar on Windows.
When downloading a file from a redirect, use the redirected location's extension to guess the compression (happens specifically when redirecting to a bitbucket.org tip.gz file).
Editable freeze URLs now always use revision hash/id rather than tip or branch names which could move.
Fixed comparison of repo URLs so incidental differences such as presence/absence of final slashes or quoted/unquoted special characters don't trigger "ignore/switch/wipe/backup" choice.
Fixed handling of attempt to checkout editable install to a non-empty, non-repo directory.

0.4

Make -e work better with local hg repositories
Construct PyPI URLs the exact way easy_install constructs URLs (you might notice this if you use a custom index that is slash-sensitive).
Improvements on Windows (from Ionel Maries Cristian).
Fixed problem with not being able to install private git repositories.
Make pip zip zip all its arguments, not just the first.
Fix some filename issues on Windows.
Allow the -i and --extra-index-url options in requirements files.
Fix the way bundle components are unpacked and moved around, to make bundles work.
Adds -s option to allow the access to the global site-packages if a virtualenv is to be created.
Fixed support for Subversion 1.6.

0.3.1

Improved virtualenv restart and various path/cleanup problems on win32.
Fixed a regression with installing from svn repositories (when not using -e).
Fixes when installing editable packages that put their source in a subdirectory (like src/).
Improve pip -h

0.3

Added support for editable packages created from Git, Mercurial and Bazaar repositories and ability to freeze them. Refactored support for version control systems.
Do not use sys.exit() from inside the code, instead use a return. This will make it easier to invoke programmatically.
Put the install record in Package.egg-info/installed-files.txt (previously they went in site-packages/install-record-Package.txt).
Fix a problem with pip freeze not including -e svn+ when an svn structure is peculiar.
Allow pip -E to work with a virtualenv that uses a different version of Python than the parent environment.
Fixed Win32 virtualenv (-E) option.
Search the links passed in with -f for packages.
Detect zip files, even when the file doesn't have a .zip extension and it is served with the wrong Content-Type.
Installing editable from existing source now works, like pip install -e some/path/ will install the package in some/path/. Most importantly, anything that package requires will also be installed by pip.
Add a --path option to pip un/zip, so you can avoid zipping files that are outside of where you expect.
Add --simulate option to pip zip.

0.2.1

Fixed small problem that prevented using pip.py without actually installing pip.
Fixed --upgrade, which would download and appear to install upgraded packages, but actually just reinstall the existing package.
Fixed Windows problem with putting the install record in the right place, and generating the pip script with Setuptools.
Download links that include embedded spaces or other unsafe characters (those characters get %-encoded).
Fixed use of URLs in requirement files, and problems with some blank lines.
Turn some tar file errors into warnings.

0.2

Renamed to pip, and to install you now do pip install PACKAGE
Added command pip zip PACKAGE and pip unzip PACKAGE. This is particularly intended for Google App Engine to manage libraries to stay under the 1000-file limit.
Some fixes to bundles, especially editable packages and when creating a bundle using unnamed packages (like just an svn repository without #egg=Package).

0.1.4

Added an option --install-option to pass options to pass arguments to setup.py install
.svn/ directories are no longer included in bundles, as these directories are specific to a version of svn -- if you build a bundle on a system with svn 1.5, you can't use the checkout on a system with svn 1.4. Instead a file svn-checkout.txt is included that notes the original location and revision, and the command you can use to turn it back into an svn checkout. (Probably unpacking the bundle should, maybe optionally, recreate this information -- but that is not currently implemented, and it would require network access.)
Avoid ambiguities over project name case, where for instance MyPackage and mypackage would be considered different packages. This in particular caused problems on Macs, where MyPackage/ and mypackage/ are the same directory.
Added support for an environmental variable $PIP_DOWNLOAD_CACHE which will cache package downloads, so future installations won't require large downloads. Network access is still required, but just some downloads will be avoided when using this.

0.1.3

Always use svn checkout (not export) so that tag_svn_revision settings give the revision of the package.
Don't update checkouts that came from .pybundle files.

0.1.2

Improve error text when there are errors fetching HTML pages when seeking packages.
Improve bundles: include empty directories, make them work with editable packages.
If you use -E env and the environment env/ doesn't exist, a new virtual environment will be created.
Fix dependency_links for finding packages.

0.1.1

Fixed a NameError exception when running pip outside of a virtualenv environment.
Added HTTP proxy support (from Prabhu Ramachandran)
Fixed use of hashlib.md5 on python2.5+ (also from Prabhu Ramachandran)

0.1
