rapidinstall 0.8.0

Downloads, Installs in paralell - A utility to run multiple shell command sequences (e.g., installations) in parallel with status updates.

rapidinstall

A simple Python utility to run multiple shell command sequences (e.g., complex installations, downloads, build steps) in parallel, providing status updates and aggregated output directly to the console.

Features

• Parallel Execution: Runs multiple tasks concurrently using subprocess.
• Real-time Output: Captures stdout and stderr from tasks.
• Status Updates: Periodically shows which tasks are still running and recent output.
• Clear Formatting: Presents startup, status, and completion information in distinct blocks.
• Simple API: Easy to integrate into existing Python scripts.
• Pure Python: Relies only on the standard library.

Installation

pip install rapidinstall

Example: first look

import rapidinstall

my_tasks = [
    {'name': 'Pip', 'commands': 'pip install this that'},
    {'name': 'Download MyFile', 'commands': "wget https://my.file/is_here"}
]

rapidinstall.install(my_tasks)

Downloads and Installs in paralell and updates you on the progress

Example: typical

import rapidinstall

clone_and_install = '''clone https://github.com/tomOfBerlin/rapidinstall
cd rapidinstall
python setup.py install
cd ..'''

my_tasks = [
    {'name': 'Pip', 'commands': 'pip install this that'},
    {'name': 'Download MyFile', 'commands': "wget https://my.file/is_here"},
	{'name': 'Clone and install Dependencies', 'commands': clone_and_install}
]

rapidinstall.install(my_tasks)

You can execute commands sequentially, great for git installs.

Example: silent

# Completely silent - verbose is turned on by default
rapidinstall.install(my_tasks, verbose=False)

# Updates every 60 seconds
rapidinstall.install(my_tasks, update_interval=60)

Example: advanced

# Import directly from the run module (previously executor)
from rapidinstall.run import run_tasks
# You can also access constants like:
# from rapidinstall.run import DEFAULT_STATUS_UPDATE_INTERVAL

task_a = {'name': 'Task A', 'commands': 'echo "Executing A"; sleep 1'}
task_b = {'name': 'Task B', 'commands': 'echo "Executing B"; sleep 1'}

print("\n--- Starting Advanced Example (run_tasks) ---")
# Pass arguments directly to run_tasks
results_advanced = run_tasks(todos=[task_a, task_b], verbose=True, update_interval=10)
print("--- Advanced Example Finished ---")

print("\n--- Task Execution Summary (Advanced) ---")
print(results_advanced) # Print the raw results dictionary
