py-mon 2.0.5

🔁 Automatically restart application when file changes are detected; made for development

py-mon

A modern, easy-to-use package to automatically restart a Python application when file changes are detected!

Quickstart

I wanted to make this package as easy as possible to use. Here's a quick start, it's all you'll need 😼

Installation

pip install -U py-mon

Execution

pymon filename.py

That's pretty much it! 😌

If you have a more sophisticated use-case, there are three other arguments you can utilize:

• --patterns (-p) to specify what file patterns to monitor. default: *.py
• --watch (-w) to specify what directory to monitor for changes. default: .
• --args (-a) to pass arguments to the execute script.

Examples:

• pymon test.py -p "*.json" will monitor changes in python and json files
• pymon test.py -p "*.json" -w "./data" will only monitor changes in python and json files within the data directory
• pymon test.py --args "dev mode" will essentially run the program python3 test.py dev mode

Anyway thats basically it! Thanks for everything, I would appreciate it if you could leave a follow or star this repository ❣️ If you have any feature requests, read below!

Inspiration

Back when I was 13, I spent a lot of time developing discord bots and it was a hassle to constantly Ctrl+C and then run the bot again on my terminal. Since I had just gotten started with web development back then, I decided to make something like nodemon but for Python so I randomly created this package one evening! I looked back at it a few weeks ago (I'm now 16) and realized over a thousand people download it every month so I quickly rewrote it (v2) to clean it up and add some new features!
