pythonrunscript - Answer.AI dev chat #3
This dev chat is about the tool "pythonrunscript". This tool makes it easier to use python for scripting, by letting you define single-file python scripts which declare their dependencies in comments (using pip or conda). The tool will then run those scripts, auto-installing their dependencies in cached, isolated environments.
pythonrunscript is itself just a single, small python executable, which you can install by doing pip install, or by dropping it into your PATH. You can find it at http://pythonrunscript.org.
