pip-fzf

Smart fuzzy completion for pip.

Usage

Simply type in pip install or pip uninstall followed by **, and press tab. Start typing in the name of the packages to search through the available results. Press tab to mark each result. Press return to select all marked results.

The install completion will allow you to search through all packages on PyPI.

❯ pip install ** [TAB]
> flake8
240273/240273
>   flake8
    flake8-nb
    flake8-aaa
    flake8-csv
    flake8mock
    flake8-pie
    flake8-pyi
    flake8-rst

The uninstall command allows you to search through all installed packages.

❯ pip uninstall ** [TAB]
> 
9/9
>   black
    flake8
    flask
    invoke
    nox
    pandas
    pip
    pytest
    setuptools

Install

Dependencies

Fuzzy completion will not run without the following tools installed:

• pip
• fzf
• curl

Install all three tools using any of the documented methods on the respective sites.

You must install the fuzzy completion for fzf.

For example, if you installed fzf via Homebrew, this can be accomplished by running

# If fzf was installed via Homebrew
❯ $(brew --prefix)/opt/fzf/install

Adding fuzzy pip completion

Installing the above packages is the hardest part.

Run

❯ git clone https://github.com/paw-lu/pip-fzf.git ~/.pip-fzf

Now add

source "$HOME/.pip-fzf/pip_fzf.sh"

to the end of your .zshrc/.bashrc/.bash_profile/etc.

You should now have fuzzy completion for pip after you restart your shell.

Of course, you can also just copy the functions in pip_fzf.sh, and place them directly in your .zshrc, or autoload them from another directory.
