Instead of memorizing and typing long commands like `python -m unittest tests/test_*.py`, you define a task once and run it with `task test`. It supports task composition (chaining tasks together), pre and post hooks for task dependencies, variable substitution for DRY configuration, and command-line argument pass-through.\n\nThe package is designed as a Python equivalent to npm's run-script command. It works with Poetry (via `poetry run task`) or standalone (via the `task` command directly). It requires Python 3.6 or newer and depends on four small runtime libraries: tomli for TOML parsing, psutil for process utilities, mslex for shell argument handling, and colorama for colored terminal output.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you want a simple, low-friction task runner for development workflows. Taskipy is stable and widely used (top 5000 PyPI packages), with no known vulnerabilities and permissive licensing. The dormant maintenance status is a minor concern for long-term support, but the package is mature and unlikely to require frequent updates. Install it if your project uses Poetry or needs a lightweight alternative to shell scripts for task management."},"id":"taskipy","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/taskipy","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/taskipy.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/taskipy/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-11-26","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"taskipy","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"tasks runner for python projects"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1204658,"position":4227,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.14.1"}
