Scripy 0.9.3

Commands path

The absolute path of the commands used by Scripy are in the _path module so it’s avoid some possible trojan. The path is right for Debian/Ubuntu systems since it’s where I can check them.

Without the command expansion, there would be to use:

import scripy
from scripy import _path

run = scripy.Run()
run("{sudo} {ls} /dev/null".format(sudo=_path.Bin.sudo,
                                   ls=_path.Bin.ls))

But with the command expansion, if any command is prepended with ! then get its absolute path:

run("!sudo !ls /dev/null")

Edit

Something that is very important in the shell script is the files editing, and Scripy makes it very easy using the edit.Edit() class. It only creates backups to files that are going to be modified, lets modify files owned by another users (since that uses sudo when the class is instancied), and has methods for append text, comment or comment out lines that start with a determined chracter, and a wrapper to sed which lets backup the file.

Logging

Yamlog manages the error catching code and error reporting.

v0.9.3, 2010-02-16

• Use the platform module to get information related to the system.

• The logger has been moved to a separated project called Yamlog.

• Scripts based on Scripy can add more command paths at instantiating scripy.Run().

• Fixed edit.Edit() to can edit files owned by another user.

v0.9.2, 2010-02-04

• Path expansion for commands.

• shell.Run() returns a named tuple with returncode and stdout.

• Nose was capturing all log output so it was not being written to the log file.

• Renamed class shell.Code() to shell.ReturnCode(). It manages now the valid exit status codes (mainly from commands run in the shell).

• Better error catching code and error reporting.

• Changed the logging handler to have rotation of disk log files.

• PyYAML is optional to install.

v0.9, 2010-01-28
