Wrapping the needs of a "pip search" command necessity through PyPi.org

Install with pip install pip_search

Use with pip_search anything

You can specify sorting options :

• pip_search -s name
• pip_search -s version
• pip_search -s released

To use as the traditional pip search <keywords> method, add this alias to your .zshrc, .bashrc, .bash_profile, etc.

alias pip='function _pip(){
    if [ $1 = "search" ]; then
        pip_search "$2";
    else pip "$@";
    fi;
};_pip'

For fish users, run on fish shell:

function pip --wraps="pip"
    set command $argv[1]
    set -e argv[1]
    switch "$command"
        case 'search'
            pip_search $argv
        case '*'
            command pip $command $argv
    end
end

funcsave pip

Then run with pip search
