Python library for depositing a function definition inside a temporary module file (mostly for use with multiprocessing and Jupyter Notebook).
Package Installation and Usage
The package is available on PyPI:
python -m pip install capsules
The library can be imported in the usual ways:
import capsules
from capsules import capsules
Adding the capsules decorator to a function definition will (1) automatically deposit that definition inside a temporary module file on disk, (2) import that module file, and (3) assign to the variable of the function being defined the function that was imported from that module:
@capsules
def double(x):
return x + x
Testing and Conventions
All unit tests are executed and their coverage is measured when using nose (see setup.cfg for configution details):
