Python Script: Execute Another Python Script (CURD)

[bhargavnova]

Objective

Develop a Python script that allows users to perform basic CURD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on entries representing Python scripts. This tool will enable users to manage a collection of Python scripts, execute them, and perform operations like adding new scripts, updating existing ones, reading script details, and deleting scripts.

Features

• Add Script Entry:

  • Implement functionality to add a new entry representing a Python script with a specified name and path.

• List Existing Scripts:

  • Allow users to view a list of currently added script entries.

• Execute Script:

  • Provide the ability to execute a selected Python script from the list.

• Update Script Details:

  • Allow users to modify the name or path of an existing script entry.

• Delete Script Entry:

  • Enable users to remove a specific script entry based on its ID or name.

Example Usage

import script_manager

# Add a new script entry
script_manager.add_script('Script Name', '/path/to/script.py')

# List existing scripts
script_manager.list_scripts()

# Execute a script
script_manager.execute_script(1)

# Update script details
script_manager.update_script(1, new_name='New Script Name', new_path='/new/path/to/script.py')

# Delete a script entry
script_manager.delete_script(2)

Difficulty: Beginner/Intermediate
