mitesh 0.0.0

Modestly Integrated To Every SHell

Introduction

MiteSh is a very simple wrapper over subprocess :) . It enables us to run any POSIX shell (one-liner) in python and provides output line by line through generator. This is inspired by perl’s backtick operator ``.

MiteSh is:

• tiny: The current source code has 164 lines of code (with about 35% documentation) and 114 lines of test.

• written in pure Python: MiteSh neither needs an external server nor any dependencies from PyPI.

• works on Python 3.6+ and PyPy3: MiteSh works on all modern versions of Python and PyPy.

• powerfully extensible: You can easily extend MiteSh to more shells, currently tested with - sh - bash - zsh

Supported Python Versions

MiteSh has been tested with Python 3.6+ and PyPy3.

Supported Operating Systems

MiteSh should run on all *NIX Operating Systems. Like:

• GNU/Linux

• UNIX *BSD

• Mac OS (Darwin)

Examples

More examples can be found in tests/test_mitesh.py

Run Hello World

>>> from mitesh import MiteSh
>>> for line in MiteSh("echo Hello World").execute():
...     print(line)
...
Hello World

Get Number of CPU Cores in Linux

>>> for line in MiteSh("cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep \"cpu cores\" | uniq | cut -d: -f2 | sed 's/ //g'").execute():
...     print(line)
...
6

The above command was run on Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz

Using Different Shell

>>> for line in MiteSh("echo hello", sh_type="sh").execute():
...     print(line)
...
hello
>>> for line in MiteSh("ps", sh_type="sh").execute():
...     print(line)
...

Acknowledgement

I would like to dedicate this package to my Mentor CNB and my Friend Venkatesh Pitta, without their inspiration and support, this would not be possible. Also, I would like to thank God, my Teachers, my Parents, my Wife and Daughter to stand with me all the times.
