viper-rs

A Rust command-line tool to simplify the creation and setup of python projects.

Viper allows you to create a new python virtual environment and add initial dependencies with a single command. Dependencies can be imported from a text file, specified inline, or ignored entirely if you forego the virtual environment.

Main Features

• Easy Project Creation - the viper new subcommand allows for the creation of a project folder, venv and requirements file in one simple command.
• Templating - Config options can be handled in terms of templates containing config details in json format. Templates can be added, deleted, and used to build a project in a standard format. By default templates are stored in the current directory, but an alternative location can be specified.
• Tabling (Coming Soon) - viper indexes each python project you create, allowing to to create, delete, move and copy them with ease.

Installation

cargo install viper

Examples

• Create a basic new project

viper new "./TestProject""

• Create a template, specifying a venv (-e), freeze modules (-f) and add matplotlib to requirements.txt (-m="matplotlib")

viper template "./TestProjectTemplate" -e -f -m="matplotlib"

• Build template (equivalent to the first command)

viper build "TestProjectTemplate.json" "TestProject"

• List Created templates

viper list

• Delete Template at index 0 (find index using viper list)

viper remove 0
