A Scoop bucket for Python applications that do not provide standalone executables.

$ scoop bucket add python https://github.com/TheRandomLabs/Scoop-Python.git

This bucket is an alternative to using pip to install these packages.

Also check out my personal bucket and my Spotify/Spicetify bucket!

• pip does not have a built-in functionality to update all packages. This is inconvenient for command-line tools and other executable applications such as HTTPie.
• pip does not have a simple way to preserve packages between Python updates. Again, this is inconvenient for command-line tools and other executable applications such as HTTPie.
• Python virtual environments should be used to install other packages, so only executable applications are accepted into this bucket.

• For the purpose of avoiding conflicts, uninstalling a package in this bucket will not uninstall its dependencies.
• For local installs, binaries may not be added to PATH due to ScoopInstaller/Main#772.
• Packages installed globally from this bucket will need to be migrated for any Python update.
• Packages installed locally from this bucket will need to be migrated for any minor or major Python update.
• Installing mypy-py requires either Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 to be installed or typed_ast to be installed first through pip:

$ pip install --upgrade typed_ast

• A script to migrate packages in this bucket between Python versions is provided as a dependency.

$ migrate-python-packages --help

• For example, to update Python and all packages in this bucket:

# Update Python first so that fewer migrations are required if there are also updates for packages in this bucket
scoop update python
scoop update *
migrate-python-packages
