Strip Interactive Python String

Have you ever come across an online tutorial that shows interactive Python code like this:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> print(np.array([1,2,3]))
array([1, 2, 3])

and wished to run only the inputs like below?

import numpy as np
print(np.array([1,2,3]))

That is when strip-interactive comes in handy.

Usage

To use strip-interactive, simply add the code you want to run to run_interactive method.

from strip_interactive import run_interactive

code = """
>>> import numpy as np
>>> print(np.array([1,2,3]))
array([1, 2, 3])
"""

outputs = run_interactive(code)

Output:

[1 2 3]

You can also get the clean code (without inputs and >>>) using get_clean_code method.

from strip_interactive import get_clean_code

code = """
>>> import numpy as np
>>> print(np.array([1,2,3]))
array([1, 2, 3])
"""

inputs = get_clean_code(code)
print(inputs)

Output:

import numpy as np
print(np.array([1,2,3]))

Installation

pip install strip-interactive
