In #python is there a standard for custom commands? (development scripts/tasks)
Like scripts in package.json with JavaScript or Makefile targets, or custom commands in rust (and alias in rust). For development tasks like format, test, make check... and custom dev scripts.
In python with setup.py you could define custom commands. But now?
Doesn't seem to be a standard for this, just a bunch of separate tools. But I would love to know if I'm missing something for custom commands/scripts.
On reflection pyproject.toml scripts isn’t exactly what I’m after. It’s for install time scripts, not development time scripts. Whilst it’s probably fine to use it for development scripts in some cases, not for a library. Because for users of the library we don’t want to install the development scripts. For one package I maintain this will be fine though (I already use the scripts via setuptools for this).
I see how to use tox to run arbitrary commands now. Never knew it was used for that.
