dispenv
- Disposable Python Environments
Need to make an environment to work on a GitHub issue? Want to try out a new package and not leave the clutter of a virtual environment behind? dispenv
is here to save the day!
pip install git+https://github.com/pmbaumgartner/dispenv.git
To get started after install, type dispenv create
in the parent folder of where you'd like your environment folder to go. Then, you'll be walked through a series of questions about your environment.
Example:
$ dispenv create
? What python version would you like to use? 3.8
? What type of virtual environment are you creating? (Use arrow keys)
» conda
docker (VSCode devcontainer)
? What should the folder be named? ba186b77-46bf-4506-9e8d-f9ba71377471
? What should the environment be named? ba186b77-46bf-4506-9e8d-f9ba71377471
? Paste link to a requirements.txt in a gist. Optional https://gist.github.com/pmbaumgartner/af700cc2e009da40b1816cae66881e60
When you're done, dispenv cleanup
will remove that folder and clean up any environment artifacts.
Features:
- Supports
conda
anddocker
virtual environmentsdocker
environments are setup to be run with VSCode as a devcontainer
- When asked, if you paste a link to a GitHub Gist that contains a
requirements.txt
,dispenv
will install those packages inside your environment after creation.- Requires the GitHub CLI to be installed.
- Requires you to be authenticated through the GitHub CLI
dispenv cleanup
will automatically delete theconda
environment or shut down and remove the containers and images if it's adocker
environment.
Recommendations
- Since this is intended to be a global or system-wide tool, I recommend installing in your
base
environment (if you useconda
) or using a tool likepipx
.
