Node for python virtual environment
With this node, you can run Python programs.
When you install this node, python virtual environment (pyenv folder) is also created.
You can run python(.exe) or pip(.exe) in that environment.
Windows 10
- Node.js: v20.10.0
- npm: 9.1.3
- Python: 3.8.3
- pip: 24.0
Sample flows are in the examples folder.
python(.exe) is in the ./pyenv/Scripts/python.exe or Python virtual environment you have added.
Write your Python code in the node.
The program is saved in the virtual environment and executed.
You can access Node-RED messages like print(msg['payload']).
The number of running nodes is displayed in the status.
pip(.exe) is in the ./pyenv/Scripts/pip.exe or Python virtual environment you have added.
You can run pip commands like install, uninstall, list.
Select the commands.
This node uses pip in the virtual environment, so it is different from the existing Python environment packages.
Please compare.
This node can execute executable files in Scripts or bin folder.
You can see the name of the executable in List Executables mode.
Then you can execute it with arguments in Execute mode.
You can create and switch between multiple Python virtual environments.
You need to add and set the name of the virtual environment.
You can also specify the Python version only in Windows.
When a configuration node is deleted, the virtual environment with that name is also deleted.
If you add a node with the same venv Name, only one virtual environment will be created.
The nodes can be executed by creating virtual environments even if the venv Name contains spaces or is an absolute path.
