jgonggrijp/pip-review 0.5.3

on GitHub

This release contains a bugfix as well as several changes that are part of working towards our 1.0 release.

• breaking pip-review used to call whichever version of pip was available from the PATH, which sometimes caused it to manage package updates for the wrong version of Python. This behaviour is now changed, for the better, under Python version 2.7 and later: pip-review will call python -m pip instead. So from now on, package updates are always specific to the currently used Python environment. #44 #45 #46
• breaking The setup script, which is used by pip to install pip-review, has been modernized. Features from setuptools are used to indicate supported Python versions and conditional dependencies. It appears that this may sometimes prevent pip from installing pip-review. Please report if you run into any issues. #48
• deprecation Support for Python 2.6 and Python 3.2 is now deprecated and will be removed in version 1.0. #45
• The README was converted to reStructuredText. One of the consequences is that it is now automatically shown on the PyPI page. #38
• The documentation now explains that you need to invoke pip-review as python -m pip_review if you wish for pip-review to update itself. This has been both possible and necessary since version 0.5. #47
• The description that is shown when you call pip-review -h has been updated to reflect that pip-review has little to do with dependencies or pinning, compared to the current pip-tools package.
