# Store Python project task runners in pyproject.toml with taskipy

Define short Python project commands in pyproject.toml so agents and maintainers can run the same test, lint, docs, and release tasks without hunting through shell notes.

## Prerequisites

Python, pip or Poetry, pyproject.toml

## Installation

- conda install -c conda-forge taskipy
- pip install taskipy

Requirements and caveats from upstream:

- python -m unittest tests/test_*.py
- Python 3.6 or newer.
