pipsi is a Python CLI tool that installs Python packages with command-line entry points into isolated virtualenvs and symlinks their scripts into ~/.local/bin. It wraps pip and virtualenv to enable sudo-free, conflict-free global installation of Python CLI applications.
Use cases
- install python cli tools globally without sudo
- avoid dependency conflicts between globally installed python scripts
- uninstall a python cli package and its dependencies cleanly
- install python scripts into isolated virtualenvs
- manage globally installed python command line applications
- upgrade installed python cli tools
When to choose
- you are on a legacy system already using pipsi and cannot migrate
- you need the historical pipsi workflow for scripts or documentation
When to avoid
- starting a new setup - use pipx instead, which is the actively maintained successor
- installing python libraries to be imported by other code
- you need recent python version compatibility or ongoing support
