Pipx: add pipx as an installation method for projects

[cs01]

If you are an owner of a project or have a favorite project that is suited to be run by pipx, add instructions to the project's README.

Let’s make pipx as ubiquitous as pip for python package installation!

Example installation text

This package can be installed and run from a temporary virtual environment with no commitment by running pipx run BINARY

This package can be globally installed using pipx, the Python binary runner.

pipx install PACKAGE

and run directly from the command line

BINARY

[pmav99]

can be globally installed

Is this accurate? I was under the impression that pipx installations are per-user ones, am I wrong?

[cs01]

I don’t think global and per-user are mutually exclusive terms. By default pipx installs binaries to a location in the user’s home directory. So by default it globally installs binaries for the user running the operation.

pipx will be listed as a "guide" on packaging.python.org soon https://github.com/pypa/python-packaging-user-guide/pull/594#issuecomment-465673352

I think with the above this can now be closed.
