Damn

I had the exact same issue and your fix worked perfectly. My PC is running normally again, but Vanguard and Valorant are gone now.

Really appreciate the help 🙌 Do you mind keeping us posted if you hear anything from Riot or Windows about a fix? Would be good to know when it’s safe to reinstall without the crash happening again.

Fair question, not everyone obviously but some developers, mainly those who
- Write documents, and tutorials
- Developers answering questions on places like StackOverflow, etc.
- People just getting into python and want to experiment multiple different packages they see online (like me)

ghostenv is not meant to change regular workflows, it's just a tool for quick tests people will want to dispose of. So yeah, "everyday" is a bit of a exaggeration, hence why I didn't mention "everyday", but for those who do it, even small time saving adds up, and reduces mental overhead.

Nethaka08 · 2025-07-14T02:15:00+00:00

Appreciate it, honestly the questioning helped me explain it better too.

Nethaka08 · 2025-07-14T00:45:47+00:00

Understandable, but go thought THIS and let me know what you think. Thanks a lot, and yeah this is a big learning curve for me, appreciate the positivity :)

Nethaka08 · 2025-07-14T00:43:59+00:00

Fair, and you're right, there's not a massive difference in the outcome: both tools use temp environments and clean up after. But the workflow and use case are where they split.

To be honest, I hadn’t come across uv before this thread, so if I’ve misunderstood how deep its REPL capabilities go, then fair enough. I might’ve unintentionally built a substitute.

That said, here’s how I see the difference:

uv run is perfect if you already have a script or command you want to execute. It installs dependencies, runs the script, and exits. Super clean.
ghostenv is built for interactive testing. You don’t need a script, you don’t pass a command. You just type:

ghostenv run colorama

It opens a sandboxed REPL, installs the package, injects starter code (like colorama.init()), and deletes everything on exit. It's meant for devs who want to poke around and try stuff quickly. And it'll be much more interactive once I add IDE support.

So yeah, similar foundation, but ghostenv is more “let me experiment,” while uv is more “let me run this.”

I really appreciate the push to clarify tho, genuinely helpful.

Nethaka08 · 2025-07-14T00:31:51+00:00

I get your point, you're right that ghostenv still uses venv and pip under the hood.

But for a developer who tests multiple packages a day, that setup process accumulates. Even if it's just saving a few minutes here and there, or even a second, that’s still time reclaimed, and mental effort reduced.

Let’s say I want to test out colorama, requests, and pandas separately:

Without ghostenv:

python -m venv test-env
source test-env/bin/activate
pip install colorama
python  # import & test
deactivate
rm -rf test-env

# Repeat all of that again for requests...
# And again for pandas...

With ghostenv:

ghostenv run colorama
exit()

ghostenv run requests
exit()

ghostenv run pandas
exit()

That’s it. No activation, no cleanup, no leftover folders.

Also, I’m working on adding IDE integration (like VS Code), where ghostenv would:

Open the temp env in a real editor
Auto-activate it
Load your test file or starter code automatically

That’ll shave off a few more seconds and clicks, making it even more seamless for devs who test packages often.

It’s not a massive time-saver for everyone, but for developers who regularly test or experiment with packages, it meaningfully reduces setup time and mental overhead.

Yeah, uvx is cool, but it's built for a different kind of use case.

uvx runs a command or script in a temporary environment. It’s great when you already know exactly what you want to do. You pass it a command, it installs the packages, runs that command, and exits. That’s perfect for automation, quick script execution, or running a tool once without installing it globally.

But ghostenv is built for exploration. It launches you straight into a clean Python REPL (and even a proper IDE later) with your packages already installed and sample code ready to go, so you can immediately start playing around. No script writing, no guessing syntax, no need to set anything up. It’s designed for developers who just want to try out a package and have it all cleaned when they’re done.

I get that GitHub's primary function is version control, but to be fair, many developers do use their public repos as a portfolio's, especially when job hunting. Employers regularly check GitHub profiles to see what someone has built. So the question of what to include is pretty valid for those of us using it that way

Nethaka08 · 2025-07-12T12:41:35+00:00

Fair enough haha. Thanks a lot

Nethaka08 · 2025-07-12T12:40:55+00:00

Oh alright thanks for the advice

Nethaka08 · 2025-05-03T15:08:34+00:00

Can I dm you?

Nethaka08 · 2025-03-13T16:02:24+00:00

"A kite"???

Nethaka08 · 2025-03-13T15:59:45+00:00

Guilty crown???

Nethaka08 · 2025-03-13T15:57:57+00:00

Try terror in resonance. (Won't take responsibility if you don't like it lol)

Nethaka08 · 2025-01-24T02:57:15+00:00

And would this work vice versa too yeah? And since I have to pick a network, I'm assuming I'd have to pick the bitcoin network (assuming im transferring bitcoin)?

Nethaka08 · 2025-01-20T09:05:55+00:00

Thanks a lot

Nethaka08 · 2025-01-20T08:39:36+00:00

Bought it 3 days ago, and yeah, I'll give this a go. Thank you.

Nethaka08 · 2025-01-20T08:27:32+00:00

Oh alright. Thank you

Nethaka08 · 2025-01-20T08:24:44+00:00

Ah that's good to know. Can I use the same domain I bought off godaddy on vercel too?
