Variables

---

title: Use modules

This example shows how to feed variables containing strings to your running code.

from hitchrunpy import ExamplePythonCode
from ensure import Ensure
import hitchbuildpy
import hitchbuild

virtualenv = hitchbuildpy.VirtualenvBuild(
    name="py3.7",
    base_python=hitchbuildpy.PyenvBuild("3.7").with_build_path(
        '/path/to/share_dir/'
    ),
).with_build_path("/path/to/build_dir/")

virtualenv.ensure_built()

pyrunner = ExamplePythonCode(
    virtualenv.bin.python,
    '/path/to/working_dir',
)

some_string = u"â string of some kind"

pyrunner.with_code((
    "from write_to_file import write_text\n"
    "write_text()"
)).with_modules("write_to_file.py").run()

Then the file "working/examplefile" in the working dir will contain:

â string of some kind
