I may be in the minority, but sometimes it seems like having to spin up a venv, etc. to run a small script could be a little bit much.
What if we have something like this POC I wrote: https://pypi.org/project/pyensure/ We could have a switch or python interpreter argument to have packages get auto-installed (to a temp directory) in the event that we don't have it installed in the current environment. One of the beauties of this is that it doesn't pollute the current environment, since packages are installed to a temp directory (which is then added to sys.path). Further optimizations (like preventing a need to redownload, import specific package versions, or fixing imports that have a dot) could be made in a more complete solution. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/T3CNK7GOMI63FE436RCMIE4FZIMLG2UE/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
