Introduction

Qip is a Quarantine Installer for Python built over Pip and Wiz.

It uses Pip commands to query and install Python packages with its dependencies to specific locations in an isolated manner.

>>> qip install scipy
info: Requested 'scipy'
info:       Installed 'scipy-1.5.2'.
info:       Wiz definition created for 'scipy-1.5.2'.
info: Requested 'numpy>=1.14.5' [from 'scipy-1.5.2'].
info:       Installed 'numpy-1.19.2'.
info:       Wiz definition created for 'numpy-1.19.2'.
info: Packages installed: numpy-1.19.2, scipy-1.5.2
info: Package output directory: '/tmp/qip/packages'
info: Definition output directory: '/tmp/qip/definitions'

A Wiz definition is created for each package installed in order to safely use it within a protected environment.

>>> wiz -add /tmp/qip/definitions use scipy -- python
