GSPIP

This will install a command that works almost like pip, except that it will look for packages on GCS. You will need Google Cloud SDK installed and set, for gspip will use the gsutil command.

Installation

Clone the repository, open a terminal and cd to it. Then run

chmod +x ./install.sh
./install.sh BUCKET_NAME PATH_TO_CRED_JSON

This will copy gspip.sh into your $HOME/bin directory under the name gspip

Then, open a new terminal and run

source .profile

Use

To install a package (say, adutils), just run

gspip install adutils

This will look for the last version of adutils stored on

gs://BUCKET_NAME/adutils/adutils-*.tar.gz

To uninstall a package installed this way, you can either use normal pip uninstall adutils

If the package you are trying to install is not on GCS, then the program will raise an error.

You can also specify a version :

gspip install adutils==0.11.53

or

gspip install "adutils>=0.11.53"

WATCH OUT : if you specify a version using < or >, do not forget to quote the package and version, otherwise < or > will be interpreted as flux redirections.

If the package is already installed, gspip will say "requirements already satisfied", unless you specified the --upgrade option (BEFORE install : gspip --upgrade install package). In that case it will fetch the most recent version from GCS. If you already have the newest version, it will still say "requirements already satisfied".

You can also install from a file :

gspip install requirements.txt
