ptipython metapackage

ptpython + ipython = ptipython

Description

ptipython-metapackage is a convenient way to manage both ptpython and IPython as a single package. It brings not only both REPLs — ptpython and ipython, but in addition, ptipython — a combined “interactive shell with all the power that IPython has to offer” on top of ptpython features.

Unlike alternatives, this metapackage uses pinned dependencies and tracks ptpython and IPython releases. Each time a new version of ptpython and/or IPython is released, there is a new version of ptipython-metapackage. It makes upgrading really easy — to get the latest versions of both ptpython and IPython you only need to upgrade the metapackage.

Installation

ptipython-metapackage is built with pipx in mind. To install the metapackage, run:

pipx install ptipython-metapackage

This command installs the latest version of the metapackage (that is, the latest versions of ptpython and IPython) and adds ptpython, ipython, and ptipython executables to PATH.

To upgrade to the latest version of the metapackage (that is, the latest version of ptpython and/or IPython), run:

pipx upgrade ptipython-metapackage

If you use pip, run

pip install -U ptipython-metapackage

to install or upgrade the metapackage.
