A Scoop bucket for Python applications that do not provide standalone executables.
$ scoop bucket add python https://github.com/TheRandomLabs/Scoop-Python.git
This bucket is an alternative to using pip to install these packages.
Also check out my personal bucket and my Spotify/Spicetify bucket!
- pip does not have a built-in functionality to update all packages. This is inconvenient for command-line tools and other executable applications such as HTTPie.
- pip does not have a simple way to preserve packages between Python updates. Again, this is inconvenient for command-line tools and other executable applications such as HTTPie.
- Python virtual environments should be used to install other packages, so only executable applications are accepted into this bucket.
- For the purpose of avoiding conflicts, uninstalling a package in this bucket will not uninstall its dependencies.
- For local installs, binaries may not be added to PATH due to ScoopInstaller/Main#772.
- Packages installed globally from this bucket will need to be migrated for any Python update.
- Packages installed locally from this bucket will need to be migrated for any minor or major Python update.
- Installing
mypy-pyrequires either Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 to be installed ortyped_astto be installed first through pip:
$ pip install --upgrade typed_ast- A script to migrate packages in this bucket between Python versions is provided as a dependency.
$ migrate-python-packages --help- For example, to update Python and all packages in this bucket:
# Update Python first so that fewer migrations are required if there are also updates for packages in this bucket
scoop update python
