https://cybertoolchain.io/tools/python-pipx New releases and features in python-pipx, tracked by The Cyber Toolchain. en Fri, 16 Oct 2026 05:56:41 GMT https://github.com/pypa/pipx/releases/tag/1.18.2 https://github.com/pypa/pipx/releases/tag/1.18.2 Fri, 16 Oct 2026 05:56:41 GMT pipx 1.18.2 adds support for absolute file URLs when installing local packages.⁠︀︄︇︀︅︉︀︅︀︀︃︀︀︅︅︀︅︊︀︄︆︀︃︄⁠ • Supports absolute file URLs (e.g.⁠︀︄︇︀︅︉︀︅︀︀︃︀︀︅︅︀︅︊︀︄︆︀︃︄⁠ `file:///path/to/package`) for local package installs via `pipx install`. Full history on Cyber Toolchain: https://cybertoolchain.io/tools/python-pipx https://github.com/pypa/pipx/releases/tag/1.18.0 https://github.com/pypa/pipx/releases/tag/1.18.0 Thu, 15 Oct 2026 07:26:19 GMT pipx 1.18.0 adds parallel multi-env operations, graceful Ctrl-C handling, and Python 3.15 lazy-import startup.⁠︀︄︇︀︅︉︀︅︀︀︃︀︀︅︅︀︅︊︀︄︆︀︃︄⁠ • Sets `PYTHON_LAZY_IMPORTS=normal` to disable lazy imports that Python 3.15 uses to accelerate pipx startup.⁠︀︄︇︀︅︉︀︅︀︀︃︀︀︅︅︀︅︊︀︄︆︀︃︄⁠ • Adds `--backend` flag to `install-all` to translate recorded index options between pip and uv backends, refusing environments whose index cannot be carried over. • `reinstall-all`, `upgrade-all`, and `install-all` now operate on several environments in parallel; pass `--verbose` to force sequential execution. • Runs `pipx upgrade-shared` to refresh shared pip on demand rather than waiting for the 30-day automatic refresh window. Breaking changes: • `--suffix` now appends after the app name (e.g. `pip3.12@1` instead of `pip3@1.12`), except before a Windows file extension; apps exposed by 1.17.14 keep their old name until pipx next exposes them. • `PIPX_MAX_LOGS` now keeps exactly that many logs, not one extra — environments relying on the previous off-by-one count will see one fewer log file retained. Full history on Cyber Toolchain: https://cybertoolchain.io/tools/python-pipx https://github.com/pypa/pipx/releases/tag/1.15.1 https://github.com/pypa/pipx/releases/tag/1.15.1 Wed, 15 Jul 2026 21:34:16 GMT pipx 1.15.1 adds `outdated`, `exec`, `reset`, PEP 751 lock file support, scriptable JSON output, and major performance improvements. • New `pipx outdated` command lists all installed tools that have upgrades available. • New `pipx exec` command runs an already-installed application directly without re-resolving environments. • New `pipx reset` command wipes and rebuilds pipx's state from a clean install. • New `pipx cache` subcommand manages cached `pipx run` environments. • Adds PEP 751 lock file support for `pipx install`, enabling reproducible installs from lock files. • Adds scriptable/machine-readable output format selection across `install`, `inject`, `pin`, `uninstall`, and other commands. • Adds `--skip-maintenance` flag (feat: allow skipping maintenance) to bypass shared-library upkeep during operations. • New `pipx health` repair mode automatically fixes broken virtual environments. • Enables `pipx expose` to selectively link dependency apps and completion scripts a package ships. • Supports `pipx inject` with main-package extras, allowing extras on the primary package to be activated at inject time. • Adds `pipx install` guidance for library-only packages that ship no CLI entrypoints. • Adds Python interpreter argument passthrough for `pipx run`. • Adds `pipx list` filtering by package name to show details for a single installed tool. • Adds `pipx install` support for persisting PEP 723 inline-scripted Python scripts as permanent tools. • Adds download progress bar when `pipx install` fetches packages. • Streams verbose installer output live during `pipx install --verbose`. • Installs a pipx man page from wheels. • Parallelizes update checks in `pipx upgrade-all` for significantly faster operation. • Multiple startup-path performance improvements (lazy venv scans, cached site-packages paths, deferred Python resolution) that speed up every pipx invocation. • Adds `pipx manifest` sync to reconcile a set of managed tools from a declarative manifest. • Adds dependency cooldown policy controls to prevent overly frequent automatic dependency updates. • Adds upgrade result reporting to `pipx upgrade` output, showing what changed.
