This command line utility tool allows you to create python virtual environements with dependencies you want already installed easily!

• You can create virtual environments with pre-installed packages that you specify on command line
• Instead of providing package name on command line, you can add a template.txt file containing names of packages you want intalled.
• Install packages in already existing virtual environments without having to activate them
• You can create virtual environments with no packages installed.

Essentially, the process of virtual environments creation and installation of packages is done in the bash script .createnv.sh. The bash script is called as a subprocess in the python file. Click is used to provide a CLI interface and collect arguments from the command line to pass into bash script when its being called.

• Install with pip

pip install genenv

1. if you specify package names on command line and template.txt file exits, template.txt file will be ignored.
2. if no template.txt file or package name(s) are provided on command line as arguments, you'll recieve prompt if you still want to proceed to create virtual environment with no preinstalled dependencies.
3. To use contents of template.txt file , do not provide any package names after you specify environment name

• specifying dependecies on command line

genenv -n meseeks flask django

• create a file with name template.txt in same directory you will run command
• Add package names to it

genenv -n meseeks

It detects and reads contents template.txt file then installs package names specified inside. If template.txt file is available and empty, environemnt is created with no installed dependencies.

• specify the name option flag as the name of the environment you want to install package in
• if you want to install numpy in an existing virtual environment called pluto

  make sure youre in directory that venv is located then run

genenv -n pluto  numpy

• run genenv --help to bring up help menu

Usage: genenv [OPTIONS] [DEPENDENCIES]...

  specify package names after name flag to install them,read documentation for
  how that works

Options:
  -n, --name TEXT  provide name to be used for your virtual environment
                   [required]
  --help           Show this message and exit.
