virtualenv
Advanced tools
node-virtualenv allows you to include Python dependencies in your node projects, without cluttering up your system environment.
For example, let's add Skype4Py as a dependency to our project. In your package.json, we are going to add 3 things:
virtualenv
(this library){
"dependencies": {
"virtualenv": "*"
},
"virtualenv": {
"version": "1.10.1",
"dependencies": [
"Skype4Py==1.0.35"
]
},
"scripts": {
"postinstall": "./node_modules/.bin/virtualenv-postinstall"
}
}
When you run npm install
, the Skype4Py dependency will be isolated
in a virtualenv located under ./node_modules/.virtualenv.
Next, spawn your isolated Python virtualenv from node:
var virtualenv = require("virtualenv");
var packagePath = require.resolve("./package.json")
var env = virtualenv(packagePath);
// This is a child_process running using your virtualenv. You can
// communicate with it over stdin/stdout, etc.
var child = env.spawnPython(["./my_python_helper.py"]);
Just make a pull request :)
