Here is how I start a Python project for myself.
Creating Template for Python Project#
- Create a Python project folder.
- Create virtual environment for project.
- Create the base file.
~ $ mkdir webping_project
~ $ cd webping_project
~/webping_project $
~/webping_project $ python3.11 -m venv .venv
~/webping_project $ source .venv/bin/activate
~/webping_project $
~/webping_project $ pip install requests
~/webping_project $ pip freeze > requirements.txt
~/webping_project $
~/webping_project $ vim main.py
~/webping_project $ Executing Python Project#
- Link the project file.
- Execute the project.
~/webping_project $ ln -s main.py __main__.py
~/webping_project $ ls -l
total 8.0K
lrwxrwxrwx 1 xx xx 7 Aug 24 16:57 __main__.py -> main.py*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 xx xx 2.9K Aug 24 16:54 main.py*
-rw-r--r-- 1 xx xx 154 Aug 24 16:56 requirements.txt
~/webping_project $
~/webping_project $ cd ..
~ $
~ $ python webping_project
usage: webping_project [-h] [-v] url [url ...]
webping_project: error: the following arguments are required: urlHere is how to execute the project in a more concise and elegant way. It makes it easier for others to use a project.
~ $ deactivate
~ $
~ $ python webping_project -v https://www.google.com
* https://www.google.com [200] Google
* https://www.google.com [200] Google
* https://www.google.com [200] Google
* https://www.google.com [200] Google
^C [*] DONEOf course, the old way to run a project can be:
~ $ python webping_project/main.py -v https://www.google.com
