A modern, easy-to-use package to automatically restart a Python application when file changes are detected!
I wanted to make this package as easy as possible to use. Here's a quick start, it's all you'll need 😼
pip install -U py-mon
pymon filename.py
That's pretty much it! 😌
If you have a more sophisticated use-case, there are three other arguments you can utilize:
--patterns(-p) to specify what file patterns to monitor. default:*.py--watch(-w) to specify what directory to monitor for changes. default:.--args(-a) to pass arguments to the execute script.
pymon test.py -p "*.json"will monitor changes in python and json filespymon test.py -p "*.json" -w "./data"will only monitor changes in python and json files within thedatadirectorypymon test.py --args "dev mode"will essentially run the programpython3 test.py dev mode

Back when I was 13, I spent a lot of time developing discord bots and it was a hassle to constantly Ctrl+C and then run the bot again on my terminal. Since I had just gotten started with web development back then, I decided to make something like nodemon but for Python so I randomly created this package one evening! I looked back at it a few weeks ago (I'm now 16) and realized over a thousand people download it every month so I quickly rewrote it (v2) to clean it up and add some new features!
