Pip: Buy a feature

Help us to understand what's important to you by participating in our "buy a feature" game:

You have an allocated budget of $200 to spend on redesigning pip.

With your $200 budget, "buy" the functionality you'd most like to keep. You don't have to spend the whole $200, but you should also not overspend your budget!

Thank you for playing!

You have $100 to buy features related to pip install. Each item is $10. How would you spend your money?

Verify downloaded packages against hashes

Install a package from wheels (no need for compiling code)

Install packages from an alternative package index, or indexes (default is PyPI only)

Build packages in an isolated environment (see PEP 517 / pyproject.toml)

Control whether wheels are used (e.g. no wheels, only wheels, prefer wheels regardless of version)

Install a package from source code (may require a compiler or other libraries)

Overwrite installed packages when running an installation

Upgrade packages to the latest version

Control the version of a wheel that is installed (e.g. restrict by operating system, python version, python implementation, compatibility with python abi)

Install a package from a version control system (e.g. Git, Mercurial, etc.)

Install packages from a local directory (i.e. not on a package index)

Restrict the version of a package that pip can install (not whether it is installed or not)

Install a package without its dependencies

Force reinstall all packages

Control where you want your installed package to live on your computer
