@zaber/python-launcher v1.0.0

zaber-python-launcher

Zaber Python Launcher is a simple utility that executes a particular version of Python on all the platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac OS).

Install

npm install @zaber/python-launcher --save-dev

Usage

The first argument specifies the python version. The rest of the arguments are passed to the python process.

npx zaber-python-launcher -3 ...args
npx zaber-python-launcher -2.7 ...args
npx zaber-py -3.5 ...args

Explanation

We sometimes execute Python scripts in our npm scripts. This becomes difficult when we want to use the specific version of Python on multiple platforms. For example, on Windows, we need to execute py -3, whereas, on Linux, we need python3. This utility calls either py -X.Y or pythonX.Y depending on the platform along with provided arguments.
