gshell.py 0.0.4

A straight port of glib/gshell.c to Python

gshell.py

A port of GLib's gshell.c to Python 3.

Install

You should be able to install this via pypi in your environment of choice:

pip install gshell.py

You can then use it by importing from gshell:

from gshell import g_shell_parse_argv, g_shell_quote, g_shell_unquote

API

I haven't found a nice way to turn the docstrings in gshell.py into a simple markdown document - sphinx is incredibly overkill and won't output markdown! So for now I'd encourage you to read the docstrings in the source code.

Development and Tests

I use Conda for development. You can create an environment using the included environment.yml file by running conda env create, and then running conda activate gshell.py.

Tasks are via make, and include test, lint, clean, package and publish.
