Is there a python package that can offer similar or atleast some of the capabilities of the checkpoint library in R:
namely, from this blog:
A new version of the checkpoint package for R has just been released on CRAN. With the checkpoint package, you can easily:
- Write R scripts or projects using CRAN package versions from a specific point in time;
- Share R scripts with others that will automatically install the appropriate package versions (no need to manually install CRAN packages);
- Write R scripts that use older versions of packages, or packages that are no longer available on CRAN;
- Install packages (or package versions) visible only to a specific project, without affecting other R projects or R users on the same system;
- Manage multiple projects that use different package versions;
- Write and share code R whose results can be reproduced, even if new (and possibly incompatible) package versions are released later.
