🤔 Why safeenv?

Every Python developer has been there:

$ python app.py
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flask'

Or worse — you clone a project, follow the README step by step, and it still doesn't run.

safeenv eliminates this entire category of problem.

It is the tool teachers wish existed when they started teaching Python, and the tool students wish they had on day one.

Without safeenv	With safeenv
python -m venv .venv → activate → pip install → hope	safeenv setup
Manually grep imports → write requirements.txt	safeenv freeze
Google "ModuleNotFoundError fix"	safeenv doctor then safeenv fix
Broken environment → nuke and rebuild from scratch	safeenv fix

---

⚡ Quick Start

Install:

pip install safeenv-tool

Use:

# New project
mkdir my-project && cd my-project
safeenv init

# Cloned project (does everything in one step)
git clone https://github.com/someone/cool-project
cd cool-project
safeenv setup

# Something broken?
safeenv doctor    # diagnose
safeenv fix       # repair

That's it. No config files. No YAML. No learning curve.

📋 Commands

safeenv init — Initialize environment

Creates a .venv virtual environment and tells you exactly how to activate it.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  SafeEnv Initialization
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

  ✓  Python version detected: 3.11
  ✓  Virtual environment created: .venv

  Your environment is ready.

  To activate:

    Mac / Linux:
      source .venv/bin/activate

    Windows:
      .venv\Scripts\activate

safeenv init                     # current directory
safeenv init --dir /my/project   # specific directory

Safe: Running init on a project that already has .venv does nothing — it will never overwrite your environment.

---

safeenv freeze — Generate requirements.txt

Scans every .py file with Python AST parsing — no code is executed — and produces a clean requirements.txt.

  Scanning project for imports...

  ✓  Flask
  ✓  numpy
  ✓  pandas
  ✓  requests

  ✓  requirements.txt generated with 4 packages.

safeenv freeze                        # writes requirements.txt
safeenv freeze --output deps.txt      # custom output file

Under the hood:

• Reads every .py file with ast.parse() — zero code execution, zero risk
• Skips .venv, __pycache__, build, dist, and other generated directories
• Automatically resolves import → package name mismatches (see Import Name Mapping)
• Produces a sorted, deduplicated list

---

safeenv setup — One-command project setup

The only command you need after cloning a project. Combines init + install.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🗺 Import Name Mapping

safeenv freeze automatically translates the import name you use in code to the correct PyPI distribution name:

You write	pip install
import cv2	opencv-python
from PIL import Image	Pillow
import sklearn	scikit-learn
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup	beautifulsoup4
import yaml	PyYAML
from dotenv import load_dotenv	python-dotenv
import dateutil	python-dateutil
import serial	pyserial
import jwt	PyJWT
import git	GitPython
import skimage	scikit-image
from nacl import ...	PyNaCl

See dependency_scanner.py for the full list of 60+ mappings.

• Missing or broken dependencies

safeenv makes these problems disappear with simple, memorable commands.

---

Features

Command	What it does
safeenv init	Create a .venv virtual environment in the current directory
safeenv freeze	Scan all .py files and generate requirements.txt
safeenv setup	Create .venv + install all dependencies (great after cloning)
safeenv doctor	Diagnose missing venv, packages, or bad Python versions
safeenv fix	Repair the environment automatically

---

Installation

pip install safeenv

Or install in editable/development mode from source:

git clone https://github.com/safeenv/safeenv.git
cd safeenv
pip install -e ".[dev]"

After installation, the safeenv command will be available globally.

---

Quick Start

1. Start a new project

mkdir my-project && cd my-project
safeenv init

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  SafeEnv Initialization
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

  ✓  Python version detected: 3.11
  ✓  Virtual environment created: .venv

  Your environment is ready.

  To activate:

    Mac / Linux:
      source .venv/bin/activate

    Windows:
      .venv\Scripts\activate

2. Scan your project and generate requirements.txt

safeenv freeze

  Scanning project for imports...

  ✓  Flask
  ✓  numpy
  ✓  pandas
  ✓  requests

  ✓  requirements.txt generated with 4 packages.

safeenv freeze uses Python AST parsing — it reads your source files without executing them, so it is completely safe.

3. Get a cloned project running in one command

git clone https://github.com/someone/awesome-project.git
cd awesome-project
safeenv setup

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  Project Setup
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

  Checking environment...

  ✓  Python version compatible: 3.11
  ✓  Virtual environment created: .venv

  Installing dependencies...

  ✓  Flask installed
  ✓  numpy installed
  ✓  pandas installed

  Project setup complete.

4. Check project health

safeenv doctor

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  Project Health Report
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

  Python version      :  3.11
  Virtual environment :  detected
  requirements.txt    :  found

  Issues found:

  ⚠  Missing dependency: torch
  ⚠  Missing dependency: fastapi

  Recommendation:

    Run:  safeenv fix

5. Fix problems automatically

safeenv fix

  Repairing environment...

  ✓  Virtual environment: OK
  
  Missing package detected: torch
  Installing torch...
  ✓  torch installed

  Missing package detected: fastapi
  Installing fastapi...
  ✓  fastapi installed

  ✓  Environment repaired successfully.

Command Reference

safeenv init

Creates a .venv virtual environment in the current directory using the active Python interpreter.

safeenv init                    # current directory
safeenv init --dir /path/to/project

• Safe to run multiple times — will never overwrite an existing .venv
• Displays platform-specific activation instructions

---

safeenv freeze

Scans all .py files in the project using Python AST parsing and writes a requirements.txt.

safeenv freeze                           # writes requirements.txt
safeenv freeze --output deps.txt         # custom output file
safeenv freeze --dir /path/to/project    # specific directory

How it works:

1. Recursively walks all .py files (ignores .venv, __pycache__, etc.)
2. Parses each file with ast.parse() — no code is executed
3. Collects all import and from ... import statements
4. Filters out Python standard-library modules
5. Maps import names to correct PyPI names (e.g. cv2 → opencv-python)
6. Writes a sorted requirements.txt

---

safeenv setup

The single command to run after cloning a project. Combines init + dependency installation.

safeenv setup
safeenv setup --dir /path/to/project

Steps performed:

1. Checks Python version compatibility
2. Creates .venv if not present
3. Reads requirements.txt
4. Installs each package into .venv

---

safeenv doctor

Performs a read-only health check and lists all issues. Never modifies anything.

safeenv doctor
safeenv doctor --dir /path/to/project

Checks:

• Python version (minimum: 3.7)
• .venv directory presence
• requirements.txt presence
• Packages listed in requirements.txt that are not installed

---

safeenv fix

Automatically resolves issues reported by safeenv doctor.

safeenv fix
safeenv fix --dir /path/to/project

Actions:

• Creates .venv if missing
• Installs any missing packages from requirements.txt

---

Import Name Mapping

safeenv freeze automatically translates common import names to their correct PyPI package names:

Import name	PyPI package
cv2	opencv-python
PIL	Pillow
sklearn	scikit-learn
bs4	beautifulsoup4
yaml	PyYAML
dotenv	python-dotenv
dateutil	python-dateutil
serial	pyserial
jwt	PyJWT
git	GitPython

(and many more — see dependency_scanner.py for the full list)

---

Requirements

• Python 3.8 or newer
• Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux
• Runtime dependencies: typer and rich (both installed automatically)

---

Development Setup

git clone https://github.com/safeenv/safeenv.git
cd safeenv
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Run tests

pytest

Run tests with coverage

pytest --cov=safeenv --cov-report=term-missing
