# PPS -- Python Package Index Search
Search the PyPI for packages by name, which was done by `pip search` in the past.
This was heavily inspired by [pip_search](https://github.com/victorgarric/pip_search) which looks fantastic but is a little slow.
Also the output is unnecessary hard to process by other command line tools.
## Features
Search the Python Package Index by package name with `pps STRING`

and sort by name or release date with `pps --sort-by (date|name)`

## Installation
`cargo install pps`
To keep muscle memory in place, you can use
```bash
alias pip='function _pip(){
if [ $1 = "search" ]; then
pps "$2";
else pip "$@";
fi;
};_pip
```
