pyrunner 0.1.2

Wrap your scripts around a cli.

pyrunner

Python task runner, that wraps a script

Features

• Write a .running token that prevents the task from being ran multiple times.
• Write a .done token at the end of the task, so that it is not ran twice.

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/cdancette/pyrunner.git

CLI usage

You can use it as a cli, like this :

pyrunner <tokens-folder> <command>

For example

pyrunner .tokens/ touch file.txt

Will create a file call file.txt.

Another example :

pyrunner .tokens/ bash -c "date > date.txt"

This command will save the current date in the file date.txt. If you run it again it will not run.

Python example

You can also use your command arguments to determine the tokens folder (and avoid duplicating it as an argument). For this, you need to wrap your script in a python class.

A basic task that creates a file

from pyrunner import Task

class TouchTask(Task):

    def command(self):
        return "touch"

    def experiment_folder(self, args):
        return "." # return current folder

if __name__ == "__main__":
    TouchTask().run()
