pipx: Inject dependencies into an existing virtual environment.
$ pipx inject ${package} ${dependency1 dependency2 ---}
try on your machine
The command pipx inject
is used to inject additional dependencies into an installed Python package managed by pipx.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
pipx
: This is the command-line tool used to manage Python packages installed in isolated virtual environments.inject
: This is a subcommand ofpipx
used to add dependencies to an existing package.${package}
: This refers to the name of the Python package in which you want to inject the dependencies.${dependency1 dependency2 ---}
: These are the additional dependencies that you want to inject into the package. Replacedependency1
anddependency2
with the actual names of the dependencies you want to add. Separate multiple dependencies with a space.
By running this command, pipx will locate the specified package, create a new virtual environment for it if necessary, and then install the specified dependencies into that environment. This allows you to add new functionality or requirements to an existing package without modifying its original source code.
