releases

Fetch the release dates of currently installed package and display them as a table, sorted by newest release first.

Useful for determining which of your direct or indirect dependencies might have broken your tests.

The script takes a bit of time since it fetches data from PYPI and does so in a deliberately serial manner.

Usage

$ python3 -m venv releases.env
$ . releases.env/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python releases.py
