About Python PyPI Assistant
Python PyPI Assistant for VS Code
Understand and upgrade your Python dependencies effortlessly. PyPI Assistant adds three key features to every requirements.txt and pyproject.toml file:
• Hover tooltips on PyPI dependencies. All the key details, right in the editor – package description, author, license, and last release date, plus links. • CodeLens inline info. See the latest version at a glance. • Version completion suggestions. Specify the right constraints quickly, based on the package's actual release history.
PyPI Assistant supports virtually all the popular requirements formats:
• pip requirements files – requirements.txt, requirements.in, constraints.txt, and such • Poetry – pyproject.toml's tool.poetry.dependencies • PEP 631 – pyproject.toml's project.dependencies/project.optional-dependencies • PEP 735 - pyproject.toml's dependency-groups • PEP 518 – pyproject.toml's build-system.requires • uv - pyproject.toml's tool.uv.constraint-dependencies/tool.uv.dev-dependencies/tool.uv.override-dependencies • Pixi - pyproject.toml's tool.pixi.pypi-dependencies
This extension depends on Microsoft's official Python extension for pip requirements language support.
