pypyr release v4.3.0

streamlined api main() entry-point

Release Date: 2020-11-12T20:36:36Z

This one is for all the API consumers! The new API entry-point is likely to be useful to anyone who wants to pass regular Python objects directly to pypyr, rather than have to mediate through a string-based cli-orientated context_parser first.

• Streamline main entrypoint API. close #201.
  • main() allows consumer to set pype loader, rather than having to drop further down into api to load_and_run_pipeline()
  • new main_with_context() allows you to use a standard Python dict to initialize context and bypass the pipeline’s context_parser entirely.
    • Also returns the Context object after pipeline run completes. This allows api consumers to interact directly with the context objects created by the pipeline.
  • make all non-essential args optional to allow minimal calls to the main entry-points without having to add optional=None style inputs.
  • All of this is fully backwards compatible.
• Some improvements to pypyr.steps.pype
  • defaults useParentContext to False is pipeArgs specified.
  • pipeArgs shlex-es input string under the hood.
  • set pipeline_name on child pipeline rather than use parent pipeline name
• working_dir on pypyr.moduleloader uses Path object rather than string. This is not something that a pipeline author or api consumer should even notice.
• pypyr.steps.echo remove redundant string check. This is a slight performance improvement, but you’re unlikely to notice the difference.
