appypi: sandboxing apps from Pypi packages ========================================== **appypi** is a terminal-based `Python Package Index <http://pypi.python.org/pypi>`_ package manager. Each app installed through appypi is sandboxed in an individual virtualenv and usable from the user space. No root access is required to install an app. appypi in **NOT** a replacement for `pip <http://www.pip-installer.org/>`_ or `easy_install <http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall>`_. Actually, it uses pip intensively to manage package installations. appypi creates launchers into the user ~/bin directory. These launchers mimic the package behavior in terms of what commands can be called. For example, appypi will create a *django-admin.py* launcher when installing the `django <http://djangoproject.com/>`_ package, and a *fab* launcher when installing the `Fabric <http://fabfile.org/>`_ package. This way, you can use the package as if it was installed with pip directly. appypi won't install a package if it finds it in your path already. It is your duty to take care of these external installations before using appypi. Installing a package:: $ appypi install django Looking for django... Found Django version 1.4.2 Installing...
