Yolk is in the early stages of development but you may find it useful. Some Features ------------- * Show which installed packages have newer versions available by querying PyPI * List Python packages installed by distutils, setuptools, or easy_install * Determine which packages are activated or not (--multi-version) * Determine which packages are deployed in development mode * Examine package metadata * Show dependencies of packages installed by setuptools, if available * Query PyPI for various package information using XML-RPC interface * Examine entry maps and entry points for setuptools deployed Python packages * Determine download URL or subversion checkout URL of a package * Easily download source, egg or do a subversion checkout by simply giving the package name * Check latest releases on The Cheese Shop or detailed Cheese Shop ChangeLog * Determine which pkgs were installed by distutils/setuptools or your package manager (Gentoo only so far) * And if none of that interests you, a little Red Leicester then, perhaps? Note: ----- With Python<=2.3 yolk only lists installed packages if the setup.py uses setuptools or if the package was installed via easy_install. Users of Python>=2.5 get the whole enchillada.
