waypin 0.1.0

Locate a project root by anchor directory name and optionally patch sys.path.

waypin

A tiny utility to locate a project root by an anchor directory name (default: scripts) and optionally patch sys.path so absolute imports like from scripts... work in script/main execution and notebooks.

Install

pip install waypin

Usage

from waypin import reel

ROOT_DIR, is_notebook = reel("scripts")
print(ROOT_DIR, is_notebook)

Behavior

• Searches upward from the executing context (caller __file__, or notebook path if available) to find a directory named anchor_dirname.
• Returns the parent of that directory as ROOT_DIR.
• Optionally appends ROOT_DIR to sys.path.
