Try before you buy!
|
|
```sh
|
|
python3 <(curl -fsSL viv.dayl.in/viv.py) run pycowsay -- "viv isn't venv\!"
|
|
```

|
|
`Viv` is a standalone dependency-free `venv` creator.
|
|
|
|
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`.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
python3 <(curl -fsSL viv.dayl.in/viv.py) manage install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To access `viv` from within scripts you should add it's location to your `PYTHONPATH`.
|
|
By default `viv` will be installed to `$XDG_DATA_HOME/viv` or `~/.local/share/viv` you can customize this with `--src`.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
export PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:$HOME/.local/share/viv"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Advanced users may recognize that principally,
|
|
the module just needs to be recognized at run time
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
### Pypi (Not Recommended)
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pip install viv
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Why is this *not recommended*? Mainly, because `viv` is all about hacking your `sys.path`.
|
|
Placing it in it's own virtual environment or installing in a user site directory may complicate this endeavor.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
In any python script with external dependencies you can add this line,
|
|
to automate `vivenv` creation and installation of dependencies.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
__import__("viv").use("click")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To remove all `vivenvs` you can use the below command:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
viv remove $(viv list -q)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To remove `viv` all together you can use the included `purge` command:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
python3 <(curl -fsSL viv.dayl.in/viv.py) manage purge
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
python3 <(curl -fsSL viv.dayl.in/viv.py) shim black -o ./black --standalone --freeze
|
|
```
