Introduction
Cokpyt is a lightweight, fast desktop application that gives you a complete graphical interface over pip and the PyPI ecosystem - without ever touching the command line.
Why Cokpyt?
You work in Python. You use pip. But every time you need to manage your packages you are back in a terminal window, squinting at walls of text and trying to remember whether it was pip list --outdated or pip list -o.
Cokpyt is the GUI you always wished pip shipped with.
Built with Go and React on top of the Wails framework, it puts your entire Python environment on a clear dashboard. Browse every installed package, search all of PyPI, install and upgrade and uninstall with a click, run a full environment health check, and see a logged history of every pip action you have ever taken.
