Cilantropy
Cilantropy is a Python Package Manager interface created to provide an "easy-to-use" visual and also a command-line interface for Pythonistas. Today we have many nice distribution utilities like pip, distribute, etc, but we don't have a nice visual approach to inspect current installed packages, show projects metadata, check for PyPI updates, etc.

How to Install
Installing using pip:
$ pip install cilantropy
Upgrading using pip:
$ pip install --upgrade cilantropy
Docker
Repository @ DockerHub
Docker Compose excerpt
# Docker Compose excerpt
services:
nginx-ui:
image: fz11/cilantropy:latest
ports:
- 8080:8080
volumes:
- nginx:/etc/nginx
uWSGI
uwsgi --http 0.0.0.0:5000 --wsgi-file wsgi.py --callable app --processes 1 --threads 8
Installing as a systemd service
If you're running Linux with systemd (before edit path and other configs in contrib/systemd/cilantropy.service) installed, you can register Cilantropy as a service by copying cilantropy.service (both in contrib/systemd) to /etc/systemd/system.
All standard systemd service management commands (e.g. systemctl enable and systemctl start) apply.
uWSGI + Nginx
Service management
$ sudo start cilantropy
$ sudo stop cilantropy
$ sudo status cilantropy
or
$ sudo service cilantropy start
$ sudo service cilantropy stop
$ sudo service cilantropy status
Android (Termux)
You can use Cilantropy on your android device with Termux:
$ pkg upgrade
$ pkg install python
$ pip install cilantropy
Authentication
In general, this app does not come with authentication. However, it is easy to setup basic auth to restrict unwanted access. Here is how this can be done when using nginx.
Configure the auth file
- Verify that
apache2-utils(Debian, Ubuntu) orhttpd-tools(RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux) is installed - Run the htpasswd utility to create a new user and set a passwort.
- Make sure, that the directory exists
- Remove the
-cflag, if you have created a user before, since it creates the inital user/passwort file sudo htpasswd -c /etc/apache2/.htpasswd user1
Using Cilantropy
You only need to call the script (the -w option will automatically open your browser):
$ cilantropy -w
Using plp
$ plp --help
Cilantropy - Python List Packages (PLP)
Usage:
plp list [--compact] [
]
plp show
plp check
plp scripts [
]
plp paste [list your packages to pastebin service]
plp (-h | --help)
plp --version
Options:
--compact Compact list format
-h --help Show this screen.
--version Show version.
Setting a development environment
Developers can setup a development environment using the "develop" command from setuptools:
$ git clone [email protected]:foozzi/cilantropy.git && cd cilantropy
$ pip install flit --user
$ flit install
$ cilantropy
Requirements
Cilantropy uses the following external projects:
A microframework based on Werkzeug, Jinja2 and good intentions
HTML, CSS, and JS toolkit from Bootstrap
Jinja2 (Flask requirement)
The Jinja2 template engine
Werkzeug (Flask requirement)
A flexible WSGI implementation and toolkit
docopt (used by plp)
Command-line interface description language
colorama (used by plp)
Cross-platform colored terminal text.
Docutils is an open-source text processing system for processing plaintext documentation into useful formats, such as HTML or LaTeX.
flit (for build and install package)
Flit is a simple way to put Python packages and modules on PyPI.
