runtime-builder

0.1.5 verified Fri May 01 auth: no python

A Python library that provides a runtime hook to automatically build packages in edit mode, enabling developers to test modifications without manual rebuilds. Current version 0.1.5, with an experimental release cadence.

pip install runtime-builder

Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'runtime_builder' ↓

cause Package not installed or installed under a different name (e.g., 'runtime-builder' with hyphen).

fix

Install with: pip install runtime-builder

error TypeError: activate() missing 1 required positional argument: 'packages' ↓

cause Calling activate() without arguments before runtime-builder 0.1.5 (API changed).

fix

Upgrade to 0.1.5+ or provide packages list: from runtime_builder import activate; activate(['my_package'])

Warnings

gotcha activate() must be called before any imports of the package being developed, otherwise the hook may not catch changes. ↓

fix Place activate() as the very first line after standard library imports.

gotcha runtime-builder only works with packages installed in editable mode (pip install -e .). It does not affect non-editable installs. ↓

fix Ensure your package is installed with pip install -e . before using runtime-builder.
