so_pip

Everyone copies code from StackOverflow, but no one is formalizing it.

This will vendorize the source code of question or answer into a folder and generate the accessory files to make it look like a python package.

The feature-set overlaps a bit with cookie cutter, vendorizing libraries and stackoverflow search cli's.

Installation

Requires Python 3.7+, tested with 3.7, 3.8, 3.9

pip install so_pip
so_pip vendorize my_name --question=31049648 --output=output

Using via dockerhub

# for mac, unix, cmd.exe, powershell
docker pull matthewdeanmartin/so_pip
docker run --rm -i -v "$PWD/data:/data" matthewdeanmartin/so_pip --help

If you use git bash/mingw64/cygwin, see run.sh because docker needs help doing a volume mount.

Usage

Consider getting a key and adding a .so_pip.ini file The app will make best efforts if you don't.

# Turn posts into nicely formated packages
> so_pip vendorize my_name --question=31049648 | --answer=31049648
> so_pip search --answer=31049648 --tags=python

# Pip-like commands
> so_pip uninstall | upgrade {package_name}
> so_pip list | freeze
