-Python is a great choice to quickly prototype or accomplish small tasks in scripts.

-This is were `viv` comes in handy.

`Viv` is a standalone dependency-free `venv` creator.
-It is meant to be invoked in any script that has third-party dependencies,
-prior to loading of any of the external modules.
These `venvs` can be identified by name or by their specification.
In any case they will be re-used across scripts (and generated on-demand, if needed).

**Importantly**, `viv` will also remove your user site directory.
(view with: `python -m 'import site;print(site.USER_SITE)'`).
+`Viv`'s uncompromising insistence on portability means that it will always (1) only use the standard library (2) never exceed a single script.
+
+For that reason any usage of the `CLI` can be accomplished using a remote copy as seen in the below install command.

## Setup
Run the below command to install `viv`.

and the single script [`viv.py`](https://github.com/daylinmorgan/viv/blob/main/src/viv/viv.py) can be invoked directly for the CLI.
How you accomplish these options is ultimately up to you but the above instructions can get you started.
+## Additional Features
+
+An experimental feature of `viv` is generating shim's that leverage the principles of `viv`.
+These shims would operate similar to `pipx` in which you can specify a command line app to "install".
+
+*Note* that `--standalone` will auto-generate a code-golfed minified version of `viv` to accomplish the same basic task as using a local copy of `viv`.
+After generating this a standalone `shim` you can freely use this script across unix machines which have `python>3.8`.
+See [examples/black](https://github.com/daylinmorgan/viv/blob/dev/examples/black) for output of below command.

+python3 <(curl -fsSL gh.dayl.in/viv/viv.py) shim black -o ./black --standalone --freeze
