python-spawn

Features

• Automatic Python Command Detection: Determines the available Python command (python or python3) on the system.
• Script Execution: Enables the execution of entire Python scripts or specific functions within scripts, with argument passing capability.
• Asynchronous Support: Executes Python scripts asynchronously, returning results via Promises for better integration with modern JavaScript code.
• Error Handling: Provides comprehensive error messages to aid in debugging.
• Temporary Script Wrapping: Generates a temporary wrapper script for executing specific Python functions, ensuring clean execution and removal post-execution.

Installation

npm install python-spawn
