pip-name

Check whether a package name is available on PyPi

Install

$ pip install pip-name

Usage

$ pip-name <name>

Examples

$ pip-name flake8
flake8 is unavailable

$ pip-name blake201
blake201 is available

$ pip-name chromatic
chromatic is unavailable

Why?

Let's see, It's a pain in the ass to finally upload that module you've been writing for a while only to realize that a package with that same name already exists up there.
