What is Pyup.io?
pyup.io is an automated dependency update service tailored for Python. It integrates with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket to monitor your Python project repositories for outdated or insecure packages listed in the requirements.txt or setup.py.
Some key features of pyup.io:
- Automatic monitoring of dependencies - It scans your repositories daily for any dependencies that are outdated or have known security vulnerabilities based on your specified Python versions.
- Pull request creation - When vulnerabilities or updates are found, pyup can automatically open a pull request on your repository to upgrade the package.
- Configurable notifications - Get notified by email or Slack when pyup creates pull requests or detects vulnerabilities.
- Support for semantic versions - Specify version ranges for dependencies and pyup will respect semantic versioning with its updates.
- Private repositories support - pyup.io offers plans for private repositories as well for commercial use.
Overall, pyup.io simplifies Python dependency management by automating the process of staying up-to-date on the latest releases and security fixes. This helps developers avoid getting stuck with older dependencies that may have bugs, lack features, or pose security risks.
