A simple set of tools for writing shell scripts in python
Far to much of the world runs on bash shell scripts. A shamefull amount of code, some of which I have contributed to. Shell scripts are just not the best language for most solutions. Python on the other hand is not is a bit more verbose when it comes to directly interacting with commands.
This library hopes to bridge that gap
pip3 install virtualenv
virtualenv -p python3 shellwrap
cd shellwrap
source bin/activate
get clone https://github.com/jceaser/shellwrap.git
cd shellwrap
./run.sh -b -i
python3 example.py
pip3 install https://github.com/jceaser/shellwrap/releases/download/latest-master/shellwrap-0.0.1-py3-none-any.whl
from shellwrap import color
color.cprint(color.tcode.green, "Starting script", env)
from shellwrap import unix
presult = unix.pipe(['echo', 'one', 'two', 'three'], ['wc', '-m'])
print(unix.ccurl('-v',
'-H', 'Header: Value',
'https://github.com/jceaser/shellwrap.git'))
from shellwrap import file
print(file.read_file('.editorconfig'))
from shellwrap import interactivity
interactive.interactive(env, g=globals())
interactive.user_commands(handler=process_actions, g=globals())
The function interactivity() will start a python shell with the scope of the globals() as the global for the session. This means that any public methods in the calling file are public in the session allowing for any of them to be run and interacted with. History is remembered.
The function user_commands() is a little different. This ones will prompt the user for commands which are then handled by process_actions(action=None, env:dict=None). This allows the calling function more control over what actions are offered. History is also remembered.
