clamshell 0.2

An experimental shell for the modern age!

clam shell 🦪

Experimental and modern python based shell

Idea:

Reimagining the shell with:

• common sense function names
• easy hackability
• modern programming convenience

xonsh does a lot like this and better, But the idea is to reimagine the shell completely (I.e no bash)

Special repl loop to allow:

• first run as python
• then run as reformatted clam python
• then execute as command

convenient function

• files (ls equivalent) returns list
• goto (cd equivalent) moves, including searching for location if not in directoru
• see (cat equivalent) shows formatted file output
• move, copy, delete do as expected

Clam python

Basically, allow python commands to be ran like cli I.e

print 'hello world'
# runs print('hello world')

Or

goto 'Documents/cool-folder'
# runs goto('Documents/cool-folder')

This already works, but still to do is auto-stringify:

goto Documents/cool-folder
# runs goto('Documents/cool-folder')

Also, to do is allow variable setting

tunes = files '~/Music'

Run

Already done is execute program like:

python3 -m pytest

To do is capture stdout as variable:

results = python3 -m pytest

Other still to do

(lots, although prompt toolkit covers a lot of this)

• Formatted input
• autocompletion
• history
• configurable init file
