A terminal-based tool for looking up stuff in PyPI

PISpy

Introduction

PISpy aims to be a simple but useful PyPi lookup client for the Terminal, built with Textual.

Installation

PISPy is a full-screen terminal-based tool and is best installed using pipx:

$ pipx install pispy-client

Running

Once installed, just run pispy from your shell.

Naming

Wait! What? Is this pispy or pispy-client? Why the two names?

Well... when I started hacking this together I went to check if PyPi had a package called pispy and it didn't, so I steamed ahead with that. Only when I came to add the package to PyPi did it say it wouldn't let me because it was too similar to another package.

So... package name is pispy-client but the content is pispy.

Work in progress

PISpy is currently a work in progress. I'm still figuring out what it should do and how; but for now it provides a simple package lookup interface.
