On: Automate your Python project with Makefile (2021)

[skratlo]

It's not true that Python doesn't have anything akin to package.json scripts. Bonus points: all is executed within project's virtualenv.

https://python-poetry.org/docs/cli/#run

[paiute → skratlo]

While poetry is the way to go today, I've got my eyes on pdm. https://github.com/pdm-project/pdm Pyproject.toml is a pep standard so it will be easy to move around tools.

[w0m → paiute]

i just wish poetry's dependency generation was faster. It's painful* today.

[akvadrako → paiute]

pdm is already the better choice than poetry IMHO.

[qprofyeh → skratlo]

How does this compare to taskipy?

[MuffinFlavored → skratlo]

is this separate to pip's "requirements.txt" usually?

[kortex → MuffinFlavored]

Very different. Requirements.txt only handles dependency packages, and only handles on kind of dependency (no dev/release distinction). pyproject.toml does dev/release deps, it has package metadata, it can configure all your lint/test tooling, and it is extensible with plugins.

[MuffinFlavored → kortex]

and they can't be combined, right? like package.json for example

[senand → MuffinFlavored]

Yes, it's assuming poetry is used, whereby normally the packages needed by the project are defined in pyproject.toml
