Package Checker Script

By irvin cardoza

This repository contains script.py, a script designed to make downloading and managing Python packages easier by comparing the currently installed packages with those specified in requirements.txt.

Overview

The script.py script takes the output of the pip list command as input, processes this data, and compares the installed packages with the ones listed in requirements.txt. It then identifies any missing packages or version mismatches and provides an easy way to install the missing packages by generating the appropriate pip install commands.

Features

• The script reads the list of installed packages and their versions from the pip list output and compares them to the packages listed in requirements.txt.

• It identifies packages that are listed in requirements.txt but are not installed in the current environment.

• The script also checks for version mismatches, ensuring that the installed versions of the packages match those specified in requirements.txt.

• For each missing package or version mismatch, the script generates a pip install command that the user can simply copy and paste into the terminal to install the required packages.

Usage

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/irvincardoza/installation-script.git
   

2. Prepare the requirements.txt File: Ensure you have a requirements.txt file in the repository. This file should list all the required packages and their versions.

3. Run the Script: Execute script.py and provide the pip list output when prompted.

   python script.py

4. Paste the pip list Output: When prompted, paste the output of the pip list command and press Enter twice.

5. Review Missing Packages: The script will output a list of missing packages and version mismatches along with pip install commands for easy installation.
