PyWatcher: Your Dynamic Script Supervisor 🚀

Welcome to PyWatcher! Whether you're a seasoned developer or just getting started, PyWatcher is here to simplify your development process. It's designed to automatically restart scripts or applications when any change is detected, so you can keep coding without the constant back-and-forth of manual restarts.

PyWatcher Demo

🌟 Features

  • Instant Auto-restart: Say goodbye to manual restarts! PyWatcher does it instantly whenever it detects changes.
  • Supports Many Languages: Whether you're coding in Python, JavaScript, or many others, PyWatcher has got you covered.
  • Highly Customizable: Decide what you want to watch, how, and when. Tailored to fit your unique needs.
  • Beautiful Console Output: With the Rich library, get feedback that's more than just text. It's an experience.
  • Interactive Mode: More than just a watcher. Pause, resume, or restart your scripts right from your console.

📥 Installation

It's as simple as:

```bash pip install pywatcher ```

🚀 Getting Started

Basic Usage:

Just starting out? Try this:

```bash pywatcher your_script.py ```

Advanced Configuration:

For the pros out there:

```bash pywatcher your_script.py --path /your/path/ --recursive --extensions .py .js --delay 2 --log-file watcher.log --notify ```

Options:

  • --path: Choose the directory you want to keep an eye on. By default, it's where you stand.
  • --recursive: For those deep project hierarchies. Dive into all subdirectories.
  • --extensions: Tell PyWatcher exactly what file types you're working with.
  • --delay: How long should PyWatcher wait after a change to restart? You decide.
  • --log-file: Keep a record of all the changes and restarts.
  • --notify: For those who love notifications!
  • --interpreter: Got a favorite Python interpreter? Let PyWatcher know.
  • --language: Maybe you're not coding in Python? That's okay too!

🌐 Supported Languages

Out of the box, PyWatcher is fluent in:

  • Python (py)
  • JavaScript (js)

Got another language in mind? It's easy to add. Just modify the config.py file and include your desired language and its corresponding interpreter.
