pipx est un outil qui permet d'installer un paquet Python (souvent un outil de type ligne de commande) sur votre ordinateur de façon isolée, sans que ses dépendances interagissent avec d'autres outils systèmes Python. C'est aussi ce que permet la commande uv tool.

Depuis sa version 1.12.0, pipx permet d'ailleurs d'utiliser uv sous le capot : https://pipx.pypa.io/stable/explanation/comparisons/#pipx-vs-uv-tool

Es gibt eine neue Version von meinem https://github.com/jedie/victron-ble2mqtt Projekt: Hab die vorgeschlagene installation vereinfacht. Nun einfach per #pipx installieren ;)

List outdated packages in Python's pipx without upgrading

Similar to my `uvx add-classifiers` and `uvx add-link` mini projects, recently made a `uvx set-license` to simplify that step of setting up new projects.

Client Challenge

Well, the upgrade to #Fedora43 was almost uneventful. There was a minor issue with #wine, but everything went well after I uninstalled and reinstalled it.

Some font options were reset to the default, so everything looked "too big" after rebooting. I also had to reinstall all my #pipx packages. But that's it.

I could have waited a couple of weeks to upgrade, but I thought, "Meh, whatever, it's not #Windows." and went ahead  

#Linux #Fedora #FedoraLinux

Not that anyone has asked, or cares, about my podunk, backwater processes. There's a few reasons why I haven't migrated my #Python work to use #uv

1. I don't care about performance. My work is done on a potato machine and it won't make much difference, to me. For now.
2. I prefer to keep the VC funded company Astral at arms length, pay attention, and see how the tool development plays out.
3. I actually like watching individual projects like #pyenv #pipx and the rest. How they work as a community, handle bugs and new features.

I did the same with the flake8 module projects before I commited to using ruff several years ago. YMMV

Huh. This is a new one.

Somehow, I've managed to pollute my #Python pip userspace with a bunch of packages from a #Poetry project I normally work on.

Fortunately, I could just easily rebuild with #pyenv and #pipx. Just kinda weird that it happened in the first place. I might have to go back to explicitly using `poetry shell` for isolation. *shrug*

Just a little note for anyone interested...

Running ```pip-audit``` revealed a #vulnerability in pip25.2 with no #PyPI database update available yet.

The immediate fix is a manual patch update to pip 25.3.dev0 - #Development version.

#python #python3 #pip #pip3 #pipx #security

Took another swing at upgrading from #debian #bookworm to #trixie.
apt-upgrade --without-new-pkgs done first, then normal apt upgrade, then apt dist-upgrade.

Checked #udd for bugs etc, plus a quick re-read of the release notes.

This time things worked better, because I fixed some sources before the upgrade and removed a couple of things I'd gotten from deb-multimedia which had compromised certain aspects of the upgrade last time I tried.

Mostly painless, and all working. I've stuck with #xfce for the desktop, at least for now whilst testing #kde in a VM.

I had to do a 'pipx reinstall-all' to fix the underlying #python in those virtual environments.

And had to do #python virtual environment upgrades in my normal venv folders for the handful of things I run that don't seem to like #pipx

All done and will now monitor and record any issues, and raise bugs if I get anything serious. But I doubt anything will be a problem given the imminent release of #trixie in the next 6 to 8 weeks.

It turned out that I've found a all-in-one replacement for #pip, #pipx and other #python package manegers.
