I’m really bad at this SEO title thing
Hi! Thank you for your blog, been reading it for half a year and really enjoying it! I've got one question: why use an external task runner and not just run them with a python script?
Verbosity. Boostrapping.
Perfs. Short calls. Uniformity. Subprocess quirks. Argparse boilerplate. PYTHONPATH. Reusable conventions. Separation of concerns.
I get a lot of mileage from Nox (for Python).
It's an excellent test runner.
Doubles-up as a very capable dev task runner too (disable the automatic venv creation).
