library3.51.1pypypiunverified

go-task-bin is a Python package that simplifies the installation of the Go-based Task task runner CLI. It ensures a specific, stable version of the `task` executable is available on your system, acting as a simpler alternative to Make or other build tools. The current version is 3.50.0, and it typically releases new versions in sync with major updates to the upstream Task CLI project.

Task CLI (No Python imports)

✓ This library installs a command-line executable. There are no Python symbols for direct programmatic use.

✗ import task

go-task-bin installs the 'task' command-line interface written in Go. It does not provide Python modules for import or direct programmatic interaction from Python code.

The quickstart demonstrates installing `go-task-bin`, ensuring the `task` command is available, creating a basic `Taskfile.yml` to define tasks, and then running those tasks from the command line. Remember that `go-task-bin` installs a CLI tool, not a Python library to import.

# 1. Install the binary (if not already done) pip install go-task-bin # 2. Ensure ~/.local/bin is in your PATH (if on Linux/macOS) # Add this to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc: # export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" # Then run: source ~/.bashrc (or ~/.zshrc) # 3. Create a Taskfile.yml in your project directory # (Save this content as Taskfile.yml) # version: '3' # tasks: # hello: # cmds: # - echo "Hello from Task!" # build: # cmds: # - echo "Building project..." # - go build -o myapp ./cmd/myapp # run: # deps: [build] # cmds: # - ./myapp # 4. Run a task from your terminal task hello task build task run

task --version

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe `task` executable is installed into a user-specific binary directory (e.g., `~/.local/bin` on Linux/macOS, or a Scripts directory in Python's user base on Windows). This directory may not be automatically added to your system's `PATH` environment variable, leading to 'command not found' errors.

fix

Manually add the installation directory to your `PATH` variable. For example, add `export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"` to your shell's configuration file (e.g., `.bashrc`, `.zshrc`) and then `source` the file or restart your terminal.

affects: All versions

gotcha`go-task-bin` installs a *pinned* version of the Task CLI. If you have an existing global `task` installation (e.g., via Homebrew, `apt`), using `go-task-bin` might lead to version conflicts or you might inadvertently run the globally installed version instead of the one managed by `pip`.

fix

Ensure your `PATH` prioritizes the `go-task-bin` managed path, or uninstall other global `task` installations if you intend to solely use the `pip` managed version. Update `go-task-bin` regularly using `pip install --upgrade go-task-bin` to get the latest pinned `Task` version.

affects: All versions

gotchaIt's common for users to misunderstand that `go-task-bin` is an installer for a *Go-based* task runner, not a Python-native task runner. It doesn't integrate directly with Python code execution beyond providing the CLI tool.

fix

Remember that `task` commands are executed in your shell environment. To run Python scripts, you would define `cmds` in your `Taskfile.yml` that invoke `python your_script.py`.
