pipx install --update #1572

Open gsemet opened 3 weeks ago

pipx install:

install if missing.
if available and in the right or wrong version (spec not respected), does nothing

pipx install --force:

always reinstall, even if available and if spec respected

pipx update:

always update, even when spec is respected
if not installed, fail

pipx update --install:

always update, even when spec is respected
if not installed, install.

What I need is a command that will:

if not install, install respecting the provided spec
if installed but the spec is not respected, update to the spec, allowing downgrade
if installed and spec is respected, does nothing, not even a network connectivity

Example:

$ pipx install --upgrade pylint<7

if the current pylint venv respects <7, does nothing.
If the current pylint venv does not respect <7, update
if no pylint installed, install to version <7

On the network connectivity, this might be done with https://github.com/pypa/pipx/issues/1275 to allow pipx run do not try to perform any network connectivity when the spec is respected
