Python and pip, list all versions of a package that's available?
Given the name of a Python (2.X) package that can be installed with pip and virtualenv, is there any way to find out a list of all the possible versions of it that pip could install? Right now it's trial and error.
I'm trying to install a version for a third party library, but the newest version is too new, there were backwards incompatible changes made. So I'd like to somehow have a list of all the versions that pip knows about, so that I can test them.
The script at pastebin does work. However it's not very convenient if you're working with multiple environments/hosts because you will have to copy/create it every time.
A better all-around solution would be to use yolk, which is available to install with pip. Eg to see what versions of Django are available:
$ pip install yolk
$ yolk -V django
Django 1.3
Django 1.2.5
Django 1.2.4
Django 1.2.3
Django 1.2.2
Django 1.2.1
Django 1.2
Django 1.1.4
Django 1.1.3
Django 1.1.2
Django 1.0.4
A minor caveat: yolk depends on distribute. This is not a bad thing, but it may be a problem if you need for some reason to stick with (the deprecated) python setuptools.
Note: I am not involved in the development of yolk. If something doesn't seem to work as it should, leaving a comment here should not make much difference. Use the yolk issue tracker instead and consider submitting a fix, if possible.
For pip >= 9.0 use
$ pip install pylibmc==
Collecting pylibmc==
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pylibmc== (from
versions: 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5.1, 0.5.2, 0.5.3, 0.5.4, 0.5.5, 0.5, 0.6.1, 0.6,
0.7.1, 0.7.2, 0.7.3, 0.7.4, 0.7, 0.8.1, 0.8.2, 0.8, 0.9.1, 0.9.2, 0.9,
1.0-alpha, 1.0-beta, 1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1, 1.2.0, 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3, 1.3.0)
No matching distribution found for pylibmc==
– all the available versions will be printed without actually downloading or installing any additional packages.
For pip < 9.0 use
pip install pylibmc==blork
where blork can be any string that is not likely to be an install candidate.
Update:
As of Sep 2017 this method no longer works: --no-install was removed in pip 7
Use pip install -v , you can see all versions that available
root@node7:~# pip install web.py -v
Downloading/unpacking web.py
Using version 0.37 (newest of versions: 0.37, 0.36, 0.35, 0.34, 0.33, 0.33, 0.32, 0.31, 0.22, 0.2)
