🐦 Birdfingers Package Manager

A friendly, local web UI for managing Python packages in virtual environments and Windows embedded Python (python_embedded). List installed packages, inspect details, uninstall in batches, install exact versions from PyPI, and create snapshots you can preview, diff, and restore.

• Zero extra deps — runs with the Python stdlib.
• Works in venv and python_embedded and system Python (with helpers to enable site-packages and bootstrap pip).
• Snapshots: freeze, preview vs current, diff A↔B, restore.
