callscript 0.2

Makes scripts feel like functions.

callscript

Want to add a GUI, CLI, or simply test your script, but you don't want to modify your code? Call a script as though it were a function!

Usage:

If you label your script with the "input" or "output" comments, callscript can call it!

# examples/script.py
x = 3  # input
y = 5  # input
z = x + y  # output

Then from your other code, you can call it with the callscript() function:

>>> from callscript import callscript
>>> callscript('examples/script.py', x=10, y=20)
{'z': 30}

Want to change your variable names? You can do that, too!

# examples/script2.py
x = 3  # input:FirstWeek
y = 5  # input:SecondWeek
z = x + y  # output:sum

>>> from callscript import callscript
>>> callscript('examples/script2.py', FirstWeek=10, SecondWeek=20)
{'sum': 30}

Installation

pip install callscript
