A Python package manager that shoots from the hip!

A python package utility to make packaging, sharing, installing, and managing libraries simpler.

Using Pip and requirements.txt has sufficed for python development thus far, though is lacking in comparison to tools such as Gem and NPM. For example, NPM allows a developer to distinguish between production and development dependancies. This functionality is not conveniently baked into Pip. Pistol is driven by a package.yaml file that contains a map of tags to lists of dependencies. Dependencies may then be installed using pistol install[=tag] [package].

Creates a basic pistol python package.

Installs a python package from PyPi.

`pistol install[=tag] [package] --save=[tag]``

• --save=[key]

• load

Removes a Python package.

• unload
• whip

Upload a package to PyPi.

Look through packages for higher versions.

• reload

Similar to NPM link for linking development libraries.

• --user=[pypi_username]
• --pass=[pypi_password]

Search PyPi for a package.

• scope

pip install pistol
