Wrote a neat little script that installs missing modules automatically through pip, using python's default os module.
This is great if you plan on releasing a python project but can't be bothered to use cx_freeze etc to pack third party modules along with your project.

Here's a youtube demo of it in action with my python flask web framework:

Nice to see something else than PHP, JS & C#

I really like the idea about this. If it is possible, it could be nice if you coded it into something like npm or composer kinda, but for python.
Or does something like that already exist? (Didn't bother to search)

pip is essentially npm i think, without the logical commands
 
Hey, it's me again. I saw alot of love for this script so i decided to fully recode it to be fully modular and object oriented, cheers.

Few questions

• why are u using camelcase for function definitions then underscores for variable assignments
• Also, why not assign the modules_to_be_assigned in the constructor for the class.
• Also why dont anyone of the functions like checkIfExists have a following argument for the module they want to check.
• Why not make the class be used as a blueprint, instead of initalizing a new instance of the class everytime i wanna do something simple like check_if_exists

In other words why do you make the users do this
1. Go into the module and manually add the modules by hand into the dictionary (dont understand why you've done it this way)
Then do.
new_api = Apis()
new_api.check_if_exists()

Why not just
Apis().check_if_exists(selenium) --> returns a boolean​

Those are some of the things i don't understand.

Well, prepare to not understand even more things about this script because this is literally replaced by:

pip install -r requirements.txt

requirements.txt:

flask
gunicorn
pymysql
passlib
some_other_module

I had no idea of the command at the time, so it rendered my script useless. I don't suggest anyone use this, just put your requirements in a txt and pip install -r

^ Yeah i definitely agree

Very useful, basically brings Ruby's bundle over with some nice features
