[Feature request] Implicit print

[XF-FW]

Hello there,

I'm trying to add something like this:

# pyproject.toml (lines 48-49)
[tool.poe.tasks]
get_random_secret_key = { script = "django.core.management.utils:get_random_secret_key()" }

The function however, returns a string and does not print its result. Would it be possible to have an option to print the return values of a given function?

Thank you.

Changing

poethepoet/poethepoet/task/script.py

Line 57 in e9cabc3

f"import_module('{target_module}').{function_call}",

should be sufficient

Sounds about right and I wouldn't mind contributing with a PR, but I'm not sure on how I should handle the configuration.

[ThatXliner]

The title of this issue is “implicit print” so maybe you would like it to print the return value if the return value is not None

how I should handle the configuration.

I believe it’s self.options? Not too sure but you should try that

Hi @XF-FW, thanks for the feedback.

I see how that would be useful. I would accept a PR to enable something along the lines of:

[tool.poe.tasks]
get_random_secret_key = { script = "django.core.management.utils:get_random_secret_key()", print_result = true }

Check the contributing guide. You'll need to register an option for the script task type (see how it's done for the sequence task type) and a test case here.

I've implemented this feature on the development branch and it will be included in the next release.
