zpy VS xmltodict

zpy – Zsh helpers for Python venvs, with uv or pip-tools

If your interactive shell is zsh, you could give my project zpy a try, particularly the function pipz that it provides, which is a lightweight pipx clone with great completions and good speed.

I can immediately see some things rye is doing differently, like keeping the venvs themselves free of pip and pip-tools. I wonder in your explorations if you've tried rtx for managing python installations, or my own zpy wrapper of pip-tools+venv (which can also replace pipx).

My patterns in this regard aren't exactly mainstream, as I use flit+pip-tools+zpy (the latter being my own Zsh interface for Python dependency and environment operations), but FWIW here's how I go about nested requirements.

For managing venvs and dependencies and apps, I use my own frontend to pip-tools + venv, zpy. And for running tasks which require an activated venv, I use nox.

If anyone's interested in a pipx clone with excellent tab completion, I would appreciate any feedback on pipz, a function of my zsh plugin for python environment and dependency management: zpy

For concise and practical interactive usage of those tools, with excellent tab completion, I made the Zsh frontend zpy.

I also use my own Zsh wrapper functions with it, so for example: https://i.imgur.com/YX8bWy8.png

I'm a big fan of (and small contributor to) pip-tools, but both poetry and pipenv offer management of more stuff, which understandably appeals to folks seeking a simple comprehensible workflow.

Pip-tools is also a bit lower level, offering flexibility and compatibility which I relish, but also requiring more attention from the user to set things up as they wish.

If you or anyone else enjoying pip-tools is a Zsh user and interested in trying out my higher level functions to ease interactive use of pip-tools, venvs, and also isolated app installs (like pipx), I would love some feedback on zpy: https://github.com/AndydeCleyre/zpy

I'm very happy to answer any questions about it right here or as GitHub issues.

This is FAR from some big mainstream thing, but I use (and am happy to answer any questions about) my own Zsh frontend to venv+pip-tools+pip, zpy.

Your Cloud Function would be written in Node.js, Python, Go, Java, C#, Ruby, or PHP; pick the one you're most comfortable with. It would get the name and bucket of the newly uploaded XML file as an input parameter. It would then load the file and call a library that makes the conversion. Example libraries: xml-js (for Node), xmltodict (for Python).

Go with xmltodict. Works pretty fine, and you just have to drop any key begining with @ or # (if there is not already an option for that).

Nope, sorry, it's just an XML generator. The Python stdlib offers https://docs.python.org/3/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html and PyPI offers https://github.com/martinblech/xmltodict for parsing, and you could write CSV with csvwriter or pandas.

xmlstarlet is really nothing like jq, as a language. But yes, I use it because it is the best commandline xml processor I'd found. That's the only similarity to jq.

Is this the yq? https://kislyuk.github.io/yq/ It does contain an 'xq', as a literal wrapper for jq, piping output into it after transcoding XML to JSON using xmltodict https://github.com/martinblech/xmltodict (which explodes xml into separate JSON data structures).

This is a bash one-liner! But TBF it really is a 'jq for xml'. I think it would be horrible for some things, but you could also do a lot of useful things painlessly.

Super-easy, take a look at xmltodict https://github.com/martinblech/xmltodict xmltodict.parse(xml_str) gets you a dictionary
