18.1 (2018-10-05)

Features

  • Allow PEP 508 URL requirements to be used as dependencies.

    As a security measure, pip will raise an exception when installing packages from PyPI if those packages depend on packages not also hosted on PyPI. In the future, PyPI will block uploading packages with such external URL dependencies directly. (#4187)

  • Allows dist options (--abi, --python-version, --platform, --implementation) when installing with --target (#5355)

  • Support passing svn+ssh URLs with a username to pip install -e. (#5375)

  • pip now ensures that the RECORD file is sorted when installing from a wheel file. (#5525)

  • Add support for Python 3.7. (#5561)

  • Malformed configuration files now show helpful error messages, instead of tracebacks. (#5798)

Bug Fixes

  • Checkout the correct branch when doing an editable Git install. (#2037)
  • Run self-version-check only on commands that may access the index, instead of trying on every run and failing to do so due to missing options. (#5433)
  • Allow a Git ref to be installed over an existing installation. (#5624)
  • Show a better error message when a configuration option has an invalid value. (#5644)
  • Always revalidate cached simple API pages instead of blindly caching them for up to 10 minutes. (#5670)
  • Avoid caching self-version-check information when cache is disabled. (#5679)
  • Avoid traceback printing on autocomplete after flags in the CLI. (#5751)
  • Fix incorrect parsing of egg names if pip needs to guess the package name. (#5819)

Vendored Libraries

  • Upgrade certifi to 2018.8.24
  • Upgrade packaging to 18.0
  • Upgrade pyparsing to 2.2.1
  • Add pep517 version 0.2
  • Upgrade pytoml to 0.1.19
  • Upgrade pkg_resources to 40.4.3 (via setuptools)

Improved Documentation

18.0 (2018-07-22)

Process

  • Switch to a Calendar based versioning scheme.
  • Formally document our deprecation process as a minimum of 6 months of deprecation warnings.
  • Adopt and document NEWS fragment writing style.
  • Switch to releasing a new, non-bug fix version of pip every 3 months.

Deprecations and Removals

  • Remove the legacy format from pip list. (#3651, #3654)

  • Dropped support for Python 3.3. (#3796)

  • Remove support for cleaning up #egg fragment postfixes. (#4174)

  • Remove the shim for the old get-pip.py location. (#5520)

    For the past 2 years, it's only been redirecting users to use the newer https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py location.

Features

  • Introduce a new --prefer-binary flag, to prefer older wheels over newer source packages. (#3785)
  • Improve autocompletion function on file name completion after options which have <file>, <dir> or <path> as metavar. (#4842, #5125)
  • Add support for installing PEP 518 build dependencies from source. (#5229)
  • Improve status message when upgrade is skipped due to only-if-needed strategy. (#5319)

Bug Fixes

  • Update pip's self-check logic to not use a virtualenv specific file and honor cache-dir. (#3905)

  • Remove compiled pyo files for wheel packages. (#4471)

  • Speed up printing of newly installed package versions. (#5127)

  • Restrict install time dependency warnings to directly-dependant packages. (#5196, #5457)

    Warning about the entire package set has resulted in users getting confused as to why pip is printing these warnings.

  • Improve handling of PEP 518 build requirements: support environment markers and extras. (#5230, #5265)

  • Remove username/password from log message when using index with basic auth. (#5249)

  • Remove trailing os.sep from PATH directories to avoid false negatives. (#5293)

  • Fix "pip wheel pip" being blocked by the "don't use pip to modify itself" check. (#5311, #5312)

  • Disable pip's version check (and upgrade message) when installed by a different package manager. (#5346)

    This works better with Linux distributions where pip's upgrade message may result in users running pip in a manner that modifies files that should be managed by the OS's package manager.

  • Check for file existence and unlink first when clobbering existing files during a wheel install. (#5366)

  • Improve error message to be more specific when no files are found as listed in as listed in PKG-INFO. (#5381)

  • Always read pyproject.toml as UTF-8. This fixes Unicode handling on Windows and Python 2. (#5482)

  • Fix a crash that occurs when PATH not set, while generating script location warning. (#5558)

  • Disallow packages with pyproject.toml files that have an empty build-system table. (#5627)

  • Fix PEP 518 support. (#5188)
  • Don't warn about script locations if --target is specified. (#5203)

10.0.0b2 (2018-04-02)

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed line endings in CA Bundle - 10.0.0b1 was inadvertently released with Windows line endings. (#5131)

10.0.0b1 (2018-03-31)

Deprecations and Removals

  • Removed the deprecated --egg parameter to pip install. (#1749)
  • Removed support for uninstalling projects which have been installed using distutils. distutils installed projects do not include metadata indicating what files belong to that install and thus it is impossible to actually uninstall them rather than just remove the metadata saying they've been installed while leaving all of the actual files behind. (#2386)
  • Removed the deprecated --download option to pip install. (#2643)
  • Removed the deprecated --(no-)use-wheel flags to pip install and pip wheel. (#2699)
  • Removed the deprecated --allow-external, --allow-all-external, and --allow-unverified options. (#3070)
  • Switch the default for pip list to the columns format, and deprecate the legacy format. (#3654, #3686)
  • Deprecate support for Python 3.3. (#3796)
  • Removed the deprecated --default-vcs option. (#4052)
  • Removed the setup.py test support from our sdist as it wasn't being maintained as a supported means to run our tests. (#4203)
  • Dropped support for Python 2.6. (#4343)
  • Removed the --editable flag from pip download, as it did not make sense (#4362)
  • Deprecate SVN detection based on dependency links in pip freeze. (#4449)
  • Move all of pip's APIs into the pip._internal package, properly reflecting the fact that pip does not currently have any public APIs. (#4696, #4700)

Features

  • Add --progress-bar <progress_bar> to pip download, pip install and pip wheel commands, to allow selecting a specific progress indicator or, to completely suppress, (for example in a CI environment) use --progress-bar off`. (#2369, #2756)
  • Add --no-color to pip. All colored output is disabled if this flag is detected. (#2449)
  • pip uninstall now ignores the absence of a requirement and prints a warning. (#3016, #4642)
  • Improved the memory and disk efficiency of the HTTP cache. (#3515)
  • Support for packages specifying build dependencies in pyproject.toml (see PEP 518). Packages which specify one or more build dependencies this way will be built into wheels in an isolated environment with those dependencies installed. (#3691)
  • pip now supports environment variable expansion in requirement files using only ${VARIABLE} syntax on all platforms. (#3728)
  • Allowed combinations of -q and -v to act sanely. Then we don't need warnings mentioned in the issue. (#4008)
  • Add --exclude-editable to pip freeze and pip list to exclude editable packages from installed package list. (#4015, #4016)
  • Improve the error message for the common pip install ./requirements.txt case. (#4127)
  • Add support for the new @ url syntax from PEP 508. (#4175)

  • Support build-numbers in wheel versions and support sorting with build-numbers. (#4299)
  • Change pip outdated to use PackageFinder in order to do the version lookup so that local mirrors in Environments that do not have Internet connections can be used as the Source of Truth for latest version. (#4336)
  • pip now retries on more HTTP status codes, for intermittent failures. Previously, it only retried on the standard 503. Now, it also retries on 500 (transient failures on AWS S3), 520 and 527 (transient failures on Cloudflare). (#4473)
  • pip now displays where it is looking for packages, if non-default locations are used. (#4483)
  • Display a message to run the right command for modifying pip on Windows (#4490)
  • Add Man Pages for pip (#4491)
  • Make uninstall command less verbose by default (#4493)
  • Switch the default upgrade strategy to be 'only-if-needed' (#4500)
  • Installing from a local directory or a VCS URL now builds a wheel to install, rather than running setup.py install. Wheels from these sources are not cached. (#4501)
  • Don't log a warning when installing a dependency from Git if the name looks like a commit hash. (#4507)
  • pip now displays a warning when it installs scripts from a wheel outside the PATH. These warnings can be suppressed using a new --no-warn-script-location option. (#4553)
  • Local Packages can now be referenced using forward slashes on Windows. (#4563)
  • pip show learnt a new Required-by field that lists currently installed packages that depend on the shown package (#4564)

  • Add auto completion of short options. (#4954)
  • Run 'setup.py develop' inside pep518 build environment. (#4999)
  • pip install now prints an error message when it installs an incompatible version of a dependency. (#5000)
  • Added a way to distinguish between pip installed packages and those from the system package manager in 'pip list'. Specifically, 'pip list -v' also shows the installer of package if it has that meta data. (#949)
  • Show install locations when list command ran with "-v" option. (#979)

Bug Fixes

  • Support installing from Git refs (#3876)
  • Use pkg_resources to parse the entry points file to allow names with colons. (#3901)

  • Changed vendored encodings from utf8 to utf-8. (#4076)
  • Fixes destination directory of data_files when pip install --target is used. (#4092)
  • Limit the disabling of requests' pyopenssl to Windows only. Fixes "SNIMissingWarning / InsecurePlatformWarning not fixable with pip 9.0 / 9.0.1" (for non-Windows) (#4098)
  • Support the installation of wheels with non-PEP 440 version in their filenames. (#4169)
  • Fall back to sys.getdefaultencoding() if locale.getpreferredencoding() returns None in pip.utils.encoding.auto_decode. (#4184)
  • Fix a bug where SETUPTOOLS_SHIM got called incorrectly for relative path requirements by converting relative paths to absolute paths prior to calling the shim. (#4208)
  • Return the latest version number in search results. (#4219)
  • Improve error message on permission errors (#4233)
  • Fail gracefully when /etc/image_version (or another distro version file) appears to exists but is not readable. (#4249)
  • Avoid importing setuptools in the parent pip process, to avoid a race condition when upgrading one of setuptools dependencies. (#4264)
  • Fix for an incorrect freeze warning message due to a package being included in multiple requirements files that were passed to freeze. Instead of warning incorrectly that the package is not installed, pip now warns that the package was declared multiple times and lists the name of each requirements file that contains the package in question. (#4293)
  • Generalize help text for compile/no-compile flags. (#4316)
  • Handle the case when /etc is not readable by the current user by using a hardcoded list of possible names of release files. (#4320)
  • Fixed a NameError when attempting to catch FileNotFoundError on Python 2.7. (#4322)
  • Ensure USER_SITE is correctly initialised. (#4437)
  • Reinstalling an editable package from Git no longer assumes that the master branch exists. (#4448)
  • This fixes an issue where when someone who tries to use git with pip but pip can't because git is not in the path environment variable. This clarifies the error given to suggest to the user what might be wrong. (#4461)
  • Improve handling of text output from build tools (avoid Unicode errors) (#4486)
  • Fix a "No such file or directory" error when using --prefix. (#4495)

9.0.0 (2016-11-02)

  • BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE Remove the attempted autodetection of requirement names from URLs, URLs must include a name via #egg=.
  • DEPRECATION pip install --egg have been deprecated and will be removed in the future. This "feature" has a long list of drawbacks which break nearly all of pip's other features in subtle and hard-to-diagnose ways.
  • DEPRECATION --default-vcs option. (#4052)

  • Fix crash when calling pip freeze with invalid requirement installed. (#3704, #3681)
  • Allow multiple --requirement files in pip freeze. (#3703)
  • Implementation of pep-503 data-requires-python. When this field is present for a release link, pip will ignore the download when installing to a Python version that doesn't satisfy the requirement.
  • pip wheel now works on editable packages too (it was only working on editable dependencies before); this allows running pip wheel on the result of pip freeze in presence of editable requirements. (#3695, #3291)
  • Load credentials from .netrc files. (#3715, #3569)

  • Improved support for Jython when quoting executables in output scripts. (#3467)
  • Add a --all option to pip freeze to include usually skipped package (like pip, setuptools and wheel) to the freeze output. (#1610)

8.0.2 (2016-01-21)

  • Stop attempting to trust the system CA trust store because it's extremely common for them to be broken, often in incompatible ways. (#3416)

8.0.1 (2016-01-21)

  • Detect CAPaths in addition to CAFiles on platforms that provide them.
  • Installing argparse or wsgiref will no longer warn or error - pip will allow the installation even though it may be useless (since the installed thing will be shadowed by the standard library).
  • Upgrading a distutils installed item that is installed outside of a virtual environment, while inside of a virtual environment will no longer warn or error.
  • Fix a bug where pre-releases were showing up in pip list --outdated without the --pre flag.
  • Switch the SOABI emulation from using RuntimeWarnings to debug logging.
  • Rollback the removal of the ability to uninstall distutils installed items until a future date.

8.0.0 (2016-01-19)

  • BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE Drop support for Python 3.2.
  • BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE Remove the ability to find any files other than the ones directly linked from the index or find-links pages.
  • BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE Remove the --download-cache which had been deprecated and no-op'd in 6.0.
  • BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE Remove the --log-explicit-levels which had been deprecated in 6.0.
  • BACKWARD INCOMPATIBLE Change pip wheel --wheel-dir default path from <cwd>/wheelhouse to <cwd>.
  • Deprecate and no-op the --allow-external, --allow-all-external, and --allow-unverified functionality that was added as part of PEP 438. With changes made to the repository protocol made in PEP 470, these options are no longer functional.

  • When uninstalling, look for the case of paths containing symlinked directories (#3141, #3154)
  • When installing, if building a wheel fails, clear up the build directory before falling back to a source install. (#3047)
  • Fix user directory expansion when HOME=/. Workaround for Python bug https://bugs.python.org/issue14768. (#2996)
  • Correct reporting of requirements file line numbers. (#3009, #3125)
  • Fixed Exception(IOError) for pip freeze and pip list commands with subversion >= 1.7. (#1062, #3346)
  • Provide a spinner showing that progress is happening when installing or building a package via setup.py. This will alleviate concerns that projects with unusually long build times have with pip appearing to stall.
  • Include the functionality of peep into pip, allowing hashes to be baked into a requirements file and ensuring that the packages being downloaded match one of those hashes. This is an additional, opt-in security measure that, when used, removes the need to trust the repository.

  • Correctly freeze Git develop packages in presence of the &subdirectory option (#3258)
  • The detection of editable packages now relies on the presence of .egg-link instead of looking for a VCS, so pip list -e is more reliable. (#3258)
  • Add the --prefix flag to pip install which allows specifying a root prefix to use instead of sys.prefix. (#3252)
  • Allow duplicate specifications in the case that only the extras differ, and union all specified extras together. (#3198)
  • Fix the detection of the user's current platform on OSX when determining the OSX SDK version. (#3232)
  • Prevent the automatically built wheels from mistakenly being used across multiple versions of Python when they may not be correctly configured for that by making the wheel specific to a specific version of Python and specific interpreter. (#3225)
  • Emulate the SOABI support in wheels from Python 2.x on Python 2.x as closely as we can with the information available within the interpreter. (#3075)

  • Fix an issue where using -v would cause an exception saying TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting.
  • Fix an issue where using -v with dependency links would cause an exception saying TypeError: 'InstallationCandidate' object is not iterable.
  • Fix an issue where upgrading distribute would cause an exception saying TypeError: expected string or buffer.
  • Show a warning and disable the use of the cache directory when the cache directory is not owned by the current user, commonly caused by using sudo without the -H flag.

  • DEPRECATION pip install --download-cache and pip wheel --download-cache command line flags have been deprecated and the functionality removed. Since pip now automatically configures and uses it's internal HTTP cache which supplants the --download-cache the existing options have been made non functional but will still be accepted until their removal in pip v8.0. For more information please see https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install.html#caching

  • When installing directly from wheel paths or urls, previous versions were not uninstalled. (#1825, #804, #1838)
  • Detect the location of the .egg-info directory by looking for any file located inside of it instead of relying on the record file listing a directory. (#2075, #2076)

  • Fixed PyPI mirror support being broken on some DNS responses. Thanks philwhin. (#605)
  • Fixed pip uninstall removing files it didn't install. Thanks pjdelport. (#355)
  • Fixed a number of issues related to improving support for the user installation scheme. Thanks Marcus Smith. (#493, #494, #440, #573)
  • Write failure log to temp file if default location is not writable. Thanks andreigc.
  • Pull in submodules for git editable checkouts. Thanks Hsiaoming Yang and Markus Hametner. (#289, #421)
  • Use a temporary directory as the default build location outside of a virtualenv. Thanks Ben Rosser. (#339, #381)
  • Added support for specifying extras with local editables. Thanks Nick Stenning.
  • Added --egg flag to request egg-style rather than flat installation. Thanks Kamal Bin Mustafa. (#3)
  • 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. (#510)
  • Allow package URLS to have querystrings. Thanks W. Trevor King. (#504)
  • 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. (#58)
  • Added a __main__.py file to enable python -m pip on Python versions that support it. Thanks Alexey Luchko.
  • Fixed upgrading from VCS url of project that does exist on index. Thanks Andrew Knapp for the report. (#487)
  • Fix upgrade from VCS url of project with no distribution on index. Thanks Andrew Knapp for the report. (#486)
  • Add a clearer error message on a malformed VCS url. Thanks Thomas Fenzl. (#427)
  • Added support for using any of the built in guaranteed algorithms in hashlib as a checksum hash.
  • Raise an exception if current working directory can't be found or accessed. (#321)
  • Removed special casing of the user directory and use the Python default instead. (#82)
  • Only warn about version conflicts if there is actually one. This re-enables using ==dev in requirements files. (#436)
  • Moved tests to be run on Travis CI: https://travis-ci.org/pypa/pip
  • Added a better help formatter.

1.1 (2012-02-16)

  • Don't crash when a package's setup.py emits UTF-8 and then fails. Thanks Marc Abramowitz. (#326)
  • Added --target option for installing directly to arbitrary directory. Thanks Stavros Korokithakis.
  • Added support for authentication with Subversion repositories. Thanks Qiangning Hong.
  • --download now downloads dependencies as well. Thanks Qiangning Hong. (#315)
  • Errors from subprocesses will display the current working directory. Thanks Antti Kaihola.
  • Fixed compatibility with Subversion 1.7. Thanks Qiangning Hong. Note that setuptools remains incompatible with Subversion 1.7; to get the benefits of pip's support you must use Distribute rather than setuptools. (#369)
  • Ignore py2app-generated macOS mpkg zip files in finder. Thanks Rene Dudfield. (#57)
  • Log to ~/Library/Logs/ by default on macOS framework installs. Thanks Dan Callahan for report and patch. (#182)
  • Understand version tags without minor version ("py3") in sdist filenames. Thanks Stuart Andrews for report and Olivier Girardot for patch. (#310)
  • Pip now supports optionally installing setuptools "extras" dependencies; e.g. "pip install Paste[openid]". Thanks Matt Maker and Olivier Girardot. (#7)
  • freeze no longer borks on requirements files with --index-url or --find-links. Thanks Herbert Pfennig. (#391)
  • Handle symlinks properly. Thanks lebedov for the patch. (#288)
  • pip install -U no longer reinstalls the same versions of packages. Thanks iguananaut for the pull request. (#49)
  • 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 pip throwing an IndexError when it calls scraped_rel_links. (#366)
  • pip search should set and return a useful shell status code. (#22)
  • 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. (#351, #365)

1.0.2 (2011-07-16)

  • Fixed docs issues.
  • Reinstall a package when using the install -I option. (#295)
  • Finds a Git tag pointing to same commit as origin/master. (#283)
  • Use absolute path for path to docs in setup.py. (#279)
  • Correctly handle exceptions on Python3. (#314)
  • Correctly parse --editable lines in requirements files. (#320)

1.0.1 (2011-04-30)

    $ 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!

  • Moved main repository to GitHub: https://github.com/pypa/pip
  • Transferred primary maintenance from Ian to Jannis Leidel, Carl Meyer, Brian Rosner
  • Fixed no uninstall-on-upgrade with URL package. Thanks Oliver Tonnhofer. (#14)
  • Fixed egg name not properly resolving. Thanks Igor Sobreira. (#163)
  • Fixed Non-alphabetical installation of requirements. Thanks Igor Sobreira. (#178)
  • Fixed documentation mentions --index instead of --index-url. Thanks Kelsey Hightower (#199)
  • rmtree undefined in mercurial.py. Thanks Kelsey Hightower. (#204)
  • Fixed bug in Git vcs backend that would break during reinstallation.
  • Fixed bug in Mercurial vcs backend related to pip freeze and branch/tag resolution.
  • Fixed bug in version string parsing related to the suffix "-dev".

0.8.2

  • Avoid redundant unpacking of bundles (from pwaller)

  • Fixed checking out the correct tag/branch/commit when updating an editable Git requirement. (#32, #150, #161)

  • Added ability to install version control requirements without making them editable, e.g.:

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

    (#49)

  • Correctly locate build and source directory on macOS. (#175)

  • 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 git revisions being ignored. Thanks John-Scott Atlakson. (#138)

  • Fixed installing if a directory in cwd has the same name as the package you're installing. (#107)
  • --install-option="--prefix=~/.local" ignored with -e. Thanks Ronny Pfannschmidt and Wil Tan. (#39)

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)
  • contrib/build-standalone script creates a runnable .zip form of pip, from Jannis Leidel
  • Editable git repos are updated when reinstalled
  • Fix problem with --editable when multiple .egg-info/ directories are found.
  • 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

  • Added support for the https and http-static schemes to the Mercurial and ftp scheme to the Bazaar backend.
  • 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

  • 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

  • Initial release
