# Custom Script Shortcuts It is possible to create custom shortcuts in the optional `[scripts]` section of your Pipfile. You can then run `pipenv run ` in your terminal to run the command in the context of your pipenv virtual environment even if you have not activated the pipenv shell first. For example, in your Pipfile: ```{code-block} [scripts] printspam = "python -c \"print('I am a silly example, no one would need to do this')\"" --- toml ``` And then in your terminal: $ pipenv run printspam I am a silly example, no one would need to do this Commands that expect arguments will also work. ```{code-block} [scripts] echospam = "echo I am really a very silly example" --- toml ``` Invoke script: $ pipenv run echospam "indeed" I am really a very silly example indeed You can also specify package functions as callables such as: `:`. These can also take arguments. For example: [scripts] my_func_with_args = {call = "package.module:func('arg1', 'arg2')"} my_func_no_args = {call = "package.module:func()"} To run the script: $ pipenv run my_func_with_args $ pipenv run my_func_no_args You can display the names and commands of your shortcuts by running `pipenv scripts` in your terminal. $ pipenv scripts command script echospam echo I am really a very silly example
