I'd love to use pipdate, but unfortunately, pipdate seems to only print the run pip install -U package_name message if the target is linux or linux2.

For macOS, where sys.platform is darwin, it doesn't show update instructions, nor does the API provide any way to do so manually.

Is this something that you're interested in adding? Thanks!

I think libraries checking for a new version on import should do so either with a timeout or asynchronously. I've just experienced my code not working anymore, because as a concrete example I've tried to import meshio on a bad network and got stuck at this line https://github.com/nschloe/meshio/blob/0142bd97547a30538682c0701cce813dc2a85052/meshio/init.py#L20 .

Of course it should be optional as it otherwise might constitute a breaking change. I guess testing this functionality is a bit difficult, an easy option would be try making a request to httpbin.org 's /delay/:n endpoint, or no test at all.

I installed pipdated via

$sudo pip3 install pipdated

Then, running

$sudo -H pipdate

returns

You must give at least one requirement to install (see "pip help install")

But your module works fine on my Mac so I'm not really sure what's messing this up.

I confess to finding working with Unicode a bit confusing, so this may not be the correct fix, but to successfully 'pip install' pygmsh which depends on this package, I had to prepend the u to the string to avoid the UnicodeDecodeError.

i updated pipdate, but it always gives me ModuleNotFound errors. while pipdate 0.5.3 works perfectly, 0.5.5 doesnt. im using windows 10, python 3.9.6 x64bit

Hi!

I'm using linux-mint and am running 4 different versions of python on it. To not mess with the default packages I use the command Python3.7 -m pip install pipdate to install pipdate only for Python3.7 (and this is performed correctly as I see pipdate when I run python3.7 -m pip freeze.

The issue is that I can not run pipdate using this approach, I have to run it as just pipdate in the terminal. It would be really helpful if I could run it in each instance of pip to update them seperately, such as python3.8 -m pipdate and python3.6 -m pipdate.

Hello

(I'm quite new to github, so it may not be the exact place to post this (sorry in that case...))

When importing pipdated, I got an error due to encoding system : import pipdated

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>
    import pipdated

    result_path = result_path + p_path
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 9: ordinal not in range(128)

I had to replace 'Nico Schlömer' by u'Nico Schlömer' in the helper.py file. Regards tgrandje

1. Summary

pipdate doesn't support my Windows 10. In Scripts folder I get file pipdate, not pipdate.exe.

Your setup.py part:

'Operating System :: OS Independent',

I think, that Windows must be support.

2. Environment

• Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 64-bit EN,
• Python 3.6.4,
• pip 9.0.1,
• pip-show 0.2.2.

3. Steps to reproduce

D:\Kristinita>pip install pipdate
Collecting pipdate
  Using cached pipdate-0.2.2-py2.py3-none-any.whl

Installing collected packages: pipdate
Successfully installed pipdate-0.2.2

D:\Kristinita>pipdate
'pipdate' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I move to C:\Python36\Scripts folder → pipdate and pipdate3 haven't Windows exe extension.

4. Possible solution

Possible, it would be nice, if you add console_scripts parameter to your setup.py.

Thanks.

Great module but it's hardcoded to PyPi. This means it doesn't respect the links and link-url settings in ~/.config/pip/pip.conf.

It would be nice to have this feature!
