Appendix B. Installing pipx, build, tox, pre-commit, and cookiecutter

published book

In this book, you’ll use a few tools frequently, and you’ll eventually need them across several projects. This appendix covers the installation of these tools, which you’ll learn more about in the chapters. You can run the installation commands from almost anywhere on your system.

B.1 Installing pipx

Several tools are available as Python packages, but you don’t want to have to install them in each project where you use them if they’re general purpose in nature. You should still install the tools in isolation, though, so that they don’t mix with other installed software unnecessarily. pipx (https://github.com/pypa/pipx/) is a management tool for running other Python tools in isolated environments inspired by the JavaScript world’s npx (https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/commands/npx). You’ll use pipx to install a few general-purpose tools, and you can use it to install other “system-wide” tools you’ll want in the future.

Install pipx using the following command, optionally supplying the desired base Python version in which to install it:

$ py -3.10 -m pip install pipx

Installing pipx so that pipx can manage pipx itself
