libPyshell 0.1.0

Support for writing shell scripts in Python

Pyshell

A python module for writing shell-scripts in Python. It introduces new functionality, bundles functions distributed over several modules of Python's standard library in one place and provides several auxiliary functions.

The function's provided by the shell module are named after the corresponding Unix commands.

Here's a quick demo:

from shell import *

rm('a/b/foo.txt')
mv('X.pdf', f'{HOME}/contents.pdf')

files = ls('Documents', '*.txt', '*.c')
magicFiles = run(['grep', 'magic'] + files, captureStdout=splitLines, onError='ignore').stdout

Assumes Python 3.
