The pypirun command is a utility that allows running a python command line script from a python package, even if it is not installed.
This utility was written to allow CI/CD Pipeline templates to be able to function properly when run in docker containers that did not have the python utility needed already installed.
This allows the templates to continue to work in different docker containers without requiring redundant steps to install the needed python packages.
This package can be installed using the Python pip package manager.
In order to install this package the python environment must have:
- Python 3.6 or newer
- pip version 8.1.1 or higher
- setuptools 40.0.0 or higher
$ pip install pypirunusage: pypirun [-h] [--interpreter INTERPRETER] [--debug] [--always_install] package command ...
positional arguments:
package Comma seperated list of packages to install, this list cannot contain spaces
command Command to run
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--interpreter INTERPRETER Python interpreter to use
--debug Enable debug output
--always_install Install the command even if it exists in the path
--upgrade_pip Upgrade the pip before installing packages
--upgrade_setuptools Upgrade setuptools before installing packages
Everything on the command line after the package name is executed in an environment with the package installed and on
the PATH. As a result, the package and command must come after the optional arguments.
By default pypirun will run the already installed command from the $PATH in the environment if it is found. The
--always_install flag will force it to install and run the command.
