This is really neato! I am perfectly comfortable using the command line tools to install packages and such, but having an attractive, powerful interface would be quite useful for exploration (i.e. I wonder if there's a package that does X) and comparing similar libraries. Similarly to how I use apt-get to install software, but occasionally peruse the Ubuntu Software Center to see what's available or compare applications.
Does it support virtualenv? At the very least I want to manage each environment, but, ideally, it would be able to give me a holistic view of all my environments and what is running in each.
Looks really good.
Yes it supports virtualenv, thanks.
It works in a virtualenv, but it does not seem to work at a global level across multiple virtualenvs. Unless I'm missing an undocumented feature, it only shows the packages for the currently activated virtualenv and doesn't allow you to specify a different (or multiple) envs. As the original commenter said, it'd be nice to have a view of all virtualenvs on the system broken up per env.
Yeah, you're right, I misunderstood the previous question. It would be a nice feature indeed, I'll take a look on that, thanks for the feedback.
I'm planning something like this, the only issue is the version formats hell, some packages uses some unusual version format sometimes, something like this will be implemented but always with confirmation, which isn't very elegant when you have lots of packages to upgrade.
This is very well done UX-wise. I especially like how Stallion indicates progress when I check PyPI for updates. Will I also be able to use it to search PyPI and install packages from there at some point?
Thanks, that is the aim, to serve like a frontend for pip and PyPI.
Very cool. Although it says it's "created to provide an "easy-to-use" visual interface for Python newcomers." and still requires the command line to install.
This looks beautiful. Can I use it to discover a custom PyPi, preferably installed on my own server?
Thanks. I still need to work on this, but its on the roadmap to implement. I really want to support PyPI mirrors, like crate.io, etc.
This is great! However, I had problems installing. After install via pip I ran this command: python -m stallion.main
and I got a no module error: /usr/bin/python: No module named stallion
