New submission from Raymond Hettinger: In teaching Python, I find that many Windows users are command-line challenged and have difficulties using and accessing PIP. In the spirit of what Tortoise has done for version control, I propose that menu options be added for PIP.
PyPI (Python Package Index) --------------------------- * Ensure pip / Upgrade pip * Show installed packages (freeze) (and give options to update or remove) * Install from requirements file (install -r) * Search for package * Install package * Upgrade package (install -U) * Uninstall package * Change default repository (default pypi.python.org) * Change default install directory (in case the user doesn't have admin rights) This change would be a major step forward in making the PyPi accessible by people who lack the skills or inclination to wrestle with PIP. I would love to be able to start a class with a fresh Python download from python.org and effortlessly install requests and other tools without users having to fire-up a terminal window and wrestle with the various parts. ---------- assignee: terry.reedy components: IDLE messages: 236906 nosy: rhettinger, terry.reedy priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: IDLE to provide menu options for using PIP type: enhancement versions: Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23551> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
