This is a PyPI compatible package index serving the latest development snapshots and pre-releases of stable versions of Riverbank Computing's open source packages.
Development snapshots are uploaded to this server whenever changes are made to the source code of a package. Older snapshots are removed at the same time.
When a new stable version of a package is about to be released it is first uploaded to this server (replacing any development snapshots) where it can be tested. After a few days it is then uploaded to the main PyPI server at python.org and removed from this server.
At the moment there are 177 development snapshots and pre-releases available. The complete list can be found here.
To use this server with pip, specify the
--index-url install option with the URL of the server. If
you want to install a development snapshot then you should also specify
the --pre install option.
For example, if you want to install the latest development snapshot of the PyQt6 wheel, then run:
pip install --index-url https://riverbankcomputing.com/pypi/simple/ --no-deps --pre --upgrade PyQt6
