Run any Python file instantly, with just one command

nowpy - Run Any Python File Instantly

nowpy combines python, virtualenv, and pip to launch a dedicated isolated environment, automatically figure out which packages are required, and then run your Python file - all with just one command.

nowpy finds packages by performing a recursive lookup for a pyproject.toml OR a requirements.txt, and cross-checks with any import statements inside the Python file.

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install nowpy.

pip install nowpy

It might be the last time you have to pip install anything!

Usage

Here's an example of what happens if you run nowpy on a Python file that imports requsts.

First run:

nowpy WorldTimeApi.py

nowpy creates a unique virtual environment for every directory you run nowpy from. It also removes unused ones automatically. But if you ever want to reset a particular one that you're using, just use the --reset option:

nowpy --reset

That's all!
