# Python Package Updater

![Supported Python Versions](https://img.shields.io/badge/python-3.8%2B-blue)

Python Package Updater is a robust tool designed to streamline the process of updating Python package dependencies in your projects. Keeping your dependencies up-to-date is crucial for maintaining security, performance, and compatibility with the latest features. However, this process can often be tedious and error-prone, especially when dealing with complex projects or multiple dependencies.

This tool automates the entire workflow of dependency updates, from detecting outdated packages to validating their compatibility through testing. By leveraging isolated virtual environments and automated test discovery, Python Package Updater ensures that updates are applied safely without breaking your project.

## Features

- **Dependency Detection**: Automatically detects dependencies from `requirements.txt` or `Pipfile`.
- **Test Discovery**: Finds and runs tests with the `test_` prefix or pytest decorators.
- **Isolated Testing**: Creates isolated virtual environments to test updates without affecting your system environment.
- **Update Analysis**: Analyzes available package updates and determines compatibility.
- **Safe Updates**: Ensures updates are applied only if all tests pass.
- **Customizable Options**: Allows you to specify packages to update, perform dry runs, or skip tests based on your requirements.

### Using CLI Options

Run the tool directly on your Python project directory:

```bash
python -m py_package_updater /path/to/your/project
```

#### Command-Line Options

- `--packages`: Specify specific packages to update (default: all packages).
- `--dry-run`: Run without making any changes.
- `--verbose`: Show detailed output.
- `--skip-tests`: Skip running tests (not recommended).

#### Examples
