Current version: 0.2.0

PyPIContents generates a configurable index written in JSON format that serves as a database for applications like pipsalabim. It can be configured to process only a range of packages (by initial letter) and to have memory, time or log size limits. It basically aims to mimic what the Contents file means for a Debian based package repository, but for the Python Package Index.

This repository stores the application. The actual index lives in a different repository and is rebuilt weekly via Github Actions.

For more information, please read the full documentation.

The pypicontents program is written in python and hosted on PyPI. Therefore, you can use pip to install the stable version:

$ pip install --upgrade pypicontents

If you want to install the development version (not recomended), you can install directlty from GitHub like this:

$ pip install --upgrade https://github.com/LuisAlejandro/pypicontents/archive/master.tar.gz
