app-runtime

This project provides cross-platform tools for handling the context of a Python application, including getting system, user and application info.

Example

from runtime.application import (
    get_main_module_name, get_application_path, hook_terminate,
    is_interactive, is_python_shell, single_instance,
    SingleInstanceException, TerminateException
)
from runtime.user import get_username, is_elevated

hook_terminate()
username = get_username()
module = get_main_module_name()
app_path = get_application_path()
interactive = is_interactive()
is_shell = is_python_shell()

def output(line: str):
    if interactive:
        print(line)

try:
    with single_instance():
        try:
            output(f"Hello {'admin ' if is_elevated() else ''}{username}, this is {module} located in {app_path}")
            output(f"I can tell that you're{' not' if not is_shell else ''} running this script in a python shell")
        except TerminateException:
            output(f"Bye {username}")
        except:
            output("An unexpected error ocurred")
except SingleInstanceException:
    output("Another instance of this application is already running!")
