        Overview
        ========
        
        **pickley** allows to install and keep up-to-date standalone pip-installable python CLIs such as tox_, twine_, etc.
        A bit like brew_ or apt_, but based solely on pypi_
        
        It can work out of the box, **without any configuration**:
        
        - **pickley** will install in the same folder it's running from (drop it in ``/usr/local/bin`` or ``~/.local/bin`` for example)
        
        -  All pypi packages with ``console_scripts`` entry point(s) can be immediately installed
        
        - Latest non-prerelease pypi version will be used, no automatic updates (you can run ``pickley install ...`` any time to upgrade)
        
        With **some configuration**, the following becomes possible:
        
        - You can create "channels" such as "stable" and choose which version you want installed
        
        - You can use the **wrap** delivery method, which will make all your installed CLIs auto-upgrade themselves
        
        - You can have the installed packages produced as **pex** or **venv**
        
        
        Example
        =======
        
        Once you have pickley_, you can get other python CLIs and use them as standalone programs, for example::
        
            # One-liner to grab pickley, and drop it in /usr/local/bin
            $ curl -sLo /usr/local/bin/pickley `curl -s https://pypi.org/pypi/pickley/json | grep -Eo '"download_url":"([^"]+)"' | cut -d'"' -f4`
        
            $ which pickley
            /usr/local/bin/pickley
        
            $ pickley install tox twine
            Installed tox 3.2.1
            Installed twine 1.11
        
            $ which tox
            /usr/local/bin/tox
        
            $ tox --version
            tox version 3.2.1
        
            $ pickley list
            base: /usr/local/bin
            tox 3.2.1
            twine 1.11
        
        
        Configuration
        =============
        
        See config_
        
        
        Packaging
        =========
        
        **pickley** can also be used to easily package your CLI project for delivery, example tox_ section for a project called ``foo``::
        
        
            # Package ourselves up, this will produce a .tox/package/dist/foo executable ready to go
            [testenv:package]
            basepython = python
            changedir = {envdir}
            skip_install = True
            deps = pickley
            commands = pickley -ppex package {toxinidir}
                       python ./dist/foo --version
        
        
        pickley packages itself like this for example.
        See ``pickley package --help`` for options, by default:
        
        - Produced package(s) (one per entry point) are dropped by default in ``./dist`` (configurable via ``--dist`` or ``-d``)
        
        - Used wheels are dropped in ``./build`` (configurable via ``--build`` or ``-b``)
        
        - We run ``./dist/foo --version`` here as a sanity check against our freshly produced package
        
        - Using tox's ``changedir = {envdir}`` allows to simplify invocations
          (relative paths are relative to ``{envdir}``, which is ``.tox/package`` in this case)
        
        - Using ``skip_install = True`` just for speedup (the project itself is not needed withing the 'pacakage' tox env)
        
        You can run the ``package`` command from anywhere, for example this will drop a pex package in ``./root/apps/myproject``::
        
            pickley -ppex package path/to/myproject -droot/apps/myproject
        
        
        Features
        ========
        
        - Any pypi_ package that has ``console_scripts`` entry point can be installed and kept up-to-date
        
        - Aims to work with zero configuration (but configuration is possible):
        
            - entirely portable, installations are performed in the same folder where **pickley** resides,
              drop it in ``/usr/local/bin`` and all the stuff you install with it will also be there
        
            - latest non pre-release version from pypi is used
        
        - Packaging is done via pex_ by default, but virtualenv_ or shiv_ can be used to (more possible in the future)
        
        - Commands:
        
            - ``check``: exit with code 0 if specified package(s) are up-to-date
        
            - ``install``: install specified package(s)
        
            - ``list``: list installed packages via **pickley**, in folder where it resides (not globally)
        
            - ``package``: can be used to simplify packaging of python project via pex_ or shiv_, for internal use
