Question 1

How do I install zpyi on macOS or Linux?

Accepted Answer

Clone the GitHub repository and add 'source ~/.zpyi/zpyi.zsh' to your .zshrc, or use the curl script for a quick install. Detailed steps are provided in the README for both methods.

Question 2

What's the difference between zpyi and python -c?

Accepted Answer

zpyi allows multiline Python scripts stored in shell history and pre-imports modules like math, while python -c is limited to single-line commands without automatic imports. zpyi is more integrated for shell workflow.

Question 3

Can I use zpyi with Python virtual environments?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but you must activate the virtual environment in your shell first, as zpyi uses the current Python path. It doesn't have built-in support for managing virtual environments automatically.

Question 4

How to pass arguments to Python scripts in zpyi?

Accepted Answer

Arguments are accessible via sys.argv or the args array; for example, use 'print(sys.argv[1])' in quotes followed by arguments like '2 3' to process them directly in the script.

Question 5

zpyi or awk: which is better for text processing?

Accepted Answer

zpyi is ideal for complex logic and Python familiarity, while awk is faster for simple patterns and native shell performance. Choose based on task complexity and your preference for Python over traditional tools.

Question 6

How to uninstall zpyi completely from my system?

Accepted Answer

Remove the .zpyi directory with rm -rf and delete the source line from .zshrc using sed, as outlined in the uninstallation section, to ensure no residual configuration remains.
