web_block
A simple Python module to block websites.
It configures the hosts file (/etc/hosts on macOS or Linux and C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows) to redirect a website passed in as an argument to localhost (127.0.0.1), essentially blocking it.
PyPI here: https://pypi.org/project/web-block
Usage:
Blocking websites
import web_block
web_block.block("example.com example.org") # Use spaces to separate websites
It's as simple as that.
Unblocking websites
import web_block
web_block.unblock("example.com example.org") # You can also use `https://www.example.com/abcd.html`
