Hi everyone
I suspect this has come up before, but google and group searches for
"python package index query" or "pypi query" and the like haven't
turned anything up.
I want to monitor the versions of the list of packages I like having
around, and I expect that the python package index might be a good
place to do this. Typically, such packages would include, say, Pyrex
and PyParsing, for example.
So: I would like to query the package index with a short name (perhaps
wildcarded), and retrieve either the full name (from which to strip the
ver.) or version number, and compare it with what I have on disk. At
this stage, just reporting the differences is fine.
I could do these steps myself with normal http access and
screen-scraping, but is there already such a system/script somewhere?
Alternatively, how do you all keep versions of python addons
up-to-date? Manually?
regards
Caleb

You can query the Cheeseshop through XML-RPC, see

I use Debian; this automatically gives me updates of all of
my packages.

Hi Martin
Pretty much exactly what I wanted :)
How up-to-date does Debian keep its package list for python addons, or
are you running Unstable? My big problem, being in South Africa, is
that I have to get any distros on cover CDs or order from
distro-resellers, and they never have Testing or Unstable. Broadband
hasn't exactly hit the local market, although things might be looking
up in a few years or so.
keep well

I'm running unstable indeed.

have Testing or Unstable. Broadband hasn't exactly hit the local
market, although things might be looking up in a few years or so.
That's indeed a problem, then. In this part of the world, an "always
online" attitude is fairly common-place, ignoring that this does
not apply to the whole world (yet).

Martin

I have no idea how useful the following will be, but I've
bought CDs several times from linuxemporium.c o.uk
and they've always been very obliging when I've contacted
them directly for updates etc. Obviously I can't speak for
them, but I don't imagine it's any harder for them to burn
Debian Unstable/Testing than burning any other download.
They're UK-based, but maybe a distributor in your part
of the world might be equally obliging.

I use easy_install. Unfortunately not all packages work. Most notably the
following failed last time I tried:
twisted
pygtk
PIL
win32all
ctypes
Mostly this is because they do something a little bit non standard with
distutils. Newer versions of easy_install may have sorted these problems, I
have not tried in the last month or two. http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall
I hope that helps you out,

Using string name = System.Environment.UserName; only gives me the login

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
