datasette-studio. I’ve been thinking for a while that it might be interesting to have a version of Datasette that comes bundled with a set of useful plugins, aimed at expanding Datasette’s default functionality to cover things like importing data and editing schemas.
This morning I built the very first experimental preview of what that could look like. Install it using pipx:
pipx install datasette-studio
I recommend pipx because it will ensure datasette-studio gets its own isolated environment, independent of any other Datasette installations you might have.
Now running “datasette-studio” instead of “datasette” will get you the version with the bundled plugins.
The implementation of this is fun—it’s a single pyproject.toml file defining the dependencies and setting up the datasette-studio CLI hook, which is enough to provide the full set of functionality.
Is this a good idea? I don’t know yet, but it’s certainly an interesting initial experiment.
