vyre 0.2.0

Build applications in Python with Vyre Framework.

vyre

vyre is a Python-based application runner and package manager. It allows you to build, install, run, list, export, verify, and uninstall self-contained applications packaged as .vy files.

Version: 0.2.0

---

Features

• Build applications into a single .vy package
• Install and uninstall applications locally
• Run applications by package name, app name, directory, or .vy file
• Isolated runtime environment (applications only see their own content/ directory)
• Manifest-based configuration using build.json
• Deterministic builds and installs with controlled timing
• Uses only the Python standard library

---

Application Structure

A vyre application must follow this structure:

MyApp/ ├── content/ │ ├── main.py │ └── other_files.py ├── build.json ├── README.md (optional) └── LICENSE (optional)

---

Rules

• content/ is the runtime root of the application
• Only files inside content/ are visible at runtime
• The entry file must exist inside content/

---

build.json Format

Example:

{ "author": "john", "app_name": "helloapp", "version": "1.0.0", "entry_file": "main.py", "deps": ["colorama"], "readme": "README.md", "license": "LICENSE" }

---

Required fields

• author
• app_name
• version
• entry_file

---

Optional fields

• deps
  A list of Python package dependencies required by the application. These are standard pip package names.

Example:

"deps": ["colorama", "requests"]

---

Automatically generated

• package_name: vyre..<app_name>

---

Commands

Build an application

vyre build MyApp/ --verbose

Creates a .vy file in the current directory.

---

Install a package

vyre install vyre.john.helloapp-1.0.0.vy

Installed location:

~/.local/share/vyre/vyre.john.helloapp/

---

Run an application

vyre run vyre.john.helloapp vyre run helloapp vyre run path/to/app/ vyre run app.vy

Arguments after the application name are passed directly to the application.

---

List installed applications

vyre list

Output format:

package_name - app_name - version - author

---

Application information

vyre info vyre.john.helloapp

Displays metadata including version, author, entry file, and timestamps.

---

Uninstall an application

vyre uninstall vyre.john.helloapp

---

Verify a package

vyre verify app.vy

Validates package structure and metadata.

---

Export an installed application

vyre export vyre.john.helloapp

Creates a .vy file from an installed application.

---

Version

vyre version

---

Runtime Isolation

• Applications run with content/ as the working directory
• PYTHONPATH is set so imports resolve only inside the application
• Applications cannot access files outside their own package by default
