Register a shell command
The section is about registering shell commands using the Click
library. Maybe you are curious, about crafting your own OS? Go for it! I do it
and it is a lot of fun :)
The best way to have a system wide executable command on both, Windows and Linux systems is to use setuputools.
There is a description in the click package about how to do it
In a nutshell, the setup.py file has to follow a certain pattern, e.g.
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
setup(
name='prettify_xml',
version='0.4.3',
packages=find_packages(),
include_package_data=True,
install_requires=[
'Click',
],
entry_points={
'console_scripts': [
'formatter = prettify_xml.formatter:format',
],
},
)
Then, you can run on Windows:
python -m venv venv
venv/Scripts/activate
pip install --editable .
And on Linux you can run:
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install --editable .
Then, test the application with:
xml-formatter -i sample.xml -o formatted_test.xml
