Updatable

Updatable help you to find packages that require updates on a python environment.

Installation

The latest release of updatable can be installed via PyPI:

pip install -U updatable

It can be installed globally or in virtual environment, depending on where you plan to check the dependencies. If you have a requirements.txt with pinned dependencies you can pass it as an argument to check against it.

The project supports Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 as well as pypy3.7, pypy3.8, pypy3.9.

Usage

The package can be used as a command line tool, so you can get a list of all packages that require updates from your current environment. You may also use the package inside of your python application, to list the packages over a REST endpoint (see a sample implementation here), forward them by mail or other purpose.
