tidypress 1.0.7

Python interface for the TidyPress Node.js CLI.

tidypress (Python)

Python entrypoint for TidyPress.

A publishing framework for Git-native authorship.

Rendering uses the Node.js CLI and Astro engine. Node.js 22.12 or newer is required for site commands.

Install

pip install tidypress

For site commands, the wrapper resolves the Node CLI in this order:

1. TIDYPRESS_CLI_JS
2. local node_modules/tidypress
3. tidypress on PATH

It does not use npx by default.

Site commands

These commands are delegated to the Node CLI (same as npx tidypress):

tidypress init [--preset lab|blog|persona|docs-writing|custom]
tidypress dev
tidypress build
tidypress preview
tidypress clean
tidypress deploy
tidypress context [output.md]
tidypress import devto <url-or-slug>   # real fetch; other providers write scaffolds
tidypress doctor
tidypress migrate-sections
tidypress add-version <label>
tidypress domain setup [domain] --platform <platform>

Experimental Node commands (editor, export, ai) are also forwarded when enabled in config.

Python-native commands

convert turns a notebook into MDX:

tidypress convert analysis.ipynb --output docs/src/content/docs/analysis.mdx

It preserves frontmatter, markdown cells, code cells, text output, and PNG image outputs.

extract-docs writes simple API notes from source comments:

tidypress extract-docs src/ --lang py
tidypress extract-docs src/ --lang ts
tidypress extract-docs src/ --lang go

Help and init presets

tidypress --help
tidypress init --help

The Python wrapper prints init preset summaries (lab, blog, persona, docs-writing, custom) from the same metadata as @tidypress/config.

Streaming build and deploy

build and deploy use an async subprocess with live stdout/stderr. Pass --sync to use the blocking path instead.

YAML bridge

tidypress.yaml is validated against the shared JSON Schema shipped with @tidypress/config (bundled in this package under tidypress/schemas/).

The wrapper supports reading tidypress.yaml / tidypress.yml and bridging command-scoped args from:

python:
  convert:
    input_path: analysis.ipynb
    output_path: docs/src/content/docs/analysis.mdx
    watch: true

Use an explicit config when needed:

tidypress convert --config ./tidypress.yaml
