Installation

Using Pip

$ pip install pyscript

Installing the developer setup from the a repository clone

see the Developer setup section on CONTRIBUTING page

Usage

run

Spin up a local server to run on the path and specified port

$ pyscript run <path_of_folder>

This will serve the folder path_of_folder at localhost:8000 by default and will open the URL in a browser window. Default is current directory if path_of_folder is not supplied.

To use a different port, use --port option.

$ pyscript run <path_of_folder> --port 9000

To avoid opening a browser window, use --no-view option.

$ pyscript run <path_of_folder> --no-view

create

Create a new pyscript project with the passed in name, creating a new directory

$ pyscript create <name_of_app>

This will create a new directory named name_of_app under the current directory.

The interactive prompts will further ask for information such as description of the app, name of the author, email of the author, etc. These of course can be provided via options such as --author-name etc. Use pyscript create --help for more information.

The following files will be created:

• index.html: start page for the project
• pyscript.toml: project metadata and config file
• main.py: a "Hello world" python starter module

Use --wrap to embed a python file OR a command string

• Embed a Python script into a PyScript HTML file

$ pyscript create --wrap <filename.py>

This will generate a project i.e. a new directory named filename under the current directory.

Similar to the above, interactive prompts will further ask for metadata information.

The following files will be created:

• index.html: start page for the project
• pyscript.toml: project metadata and config file
• main.py: contains code of filename.py

This can be overridden with the -o or --output option:

$ pyscript create --wrap <filename.py> -o <another_filename.html>

i.e. the HTML file created in the above directory will now be named another_filename.html

• Very simple command examples with --command option

The -c or --command option can be used to demo very simple cases.

By default, the name of the project folder created will be pyscript-command-app with the HTML file named index.html.

-o/--output option can be used with the -c/--command option to configure name of the project folder as well as the name of the resulting HTML file.

$ pyscript create --wrap -c 'print("Hello World!")' -o <output_filename.html>

This will generate a project i.e. a new directory named output_filename under the current directory.

Similar to the above, interactive prompts will further ask for metadata information.

The following files will be created:

• output_filename.html: start page for the project
• pyscript.toml: project metadata and config file
• main.py: contains code of the command string passed via -c/--command
