PyRequire

A bunch of decorators for checking specific requirements of Python functions at runtime.

Features

Simple decorators to enforce required Python version or package versions at runtime
Flexible version specification using standard comparison operators (e.g., >=, <, ==)
Lightweight, with no runtime dependencies
Helps ensure reproducibility and compatibility in code execution

The recommended way to install pyrequire is through the Python Package Index:

pip install pyrequire --user

Otherwise, clone and extract the package, then run from the package location:

pip install . --user

To test the integrity of the installed package, check out this repository and run:

pytest

from pyrequire import require_package, require_python

@require_python(">=3.9")
@require_package("foo>=1.2.3")
def bar():
    return
