pypit 2.2

Exemple

Let’s say we have a file.txt with the following content:

HellO
Foo
BAR
Bla

The following configuration will sort the file.txt and lower all capitalize chars:

>>> config = [
...    {
...        "cmd": "sort -r {{input}}",
...    },
...    {
...        "cmd": "tr A-Z a-z",
...        "use_stdin": True
...    }
...]

To process this configuration:

>>> from pypit import Pypit
>>> result = Pypit(config).run(file_name="file.txt")
>>> print result
hello
foo
bla
bar

Explanation

Only cmd is required. This is the command line to use.

If use_sdtin is True, the input will be take from the standard input.

{{input}} will describes the input file given to the run function. You can use a the {{output}} description to specify output file. Be carrefull to specify the output_ext then:

>>> config = [
...    {
...        'cmd': 'sort -r {{input}} {{output}}',
...        'output_ext': sorted # we need to specify the output extension. Here, the file will be "file.txt.sorted"
...    },
...    {
...        'cmd': 'wc -c {{input}}',
...    }
...]
>>> Pypit(config).run(file_name='file.txt')
'6\n'

Note that if the file is in another directory, you can specify if with cwd argument:

>>> Pypit(config).run(file_name='file.txt', 'cwd'='/tmp')
'6\n'

Finally, it is possible to take a look at the generated command line via the cmdline attribute:

>>> pypit = Pypit(config)
>>> res = pypit.run(file_name='file.txt')
>>> pypit.cmdline
'sort -r file.txt file.txt.sorted && wc -c file.txt.sorted

Errors may occure in your pipeline. To debug it and display errors use the errors attribute which act like a file:

>>> pypit.errors.read()

Shell script usage

Pypit package provides a shell commands to execute pypit configuration in yaml format. To do the following example, you have to create a config.yaml file:

-
    path: /bin
    shell: true
    name: echo "12345"

-
    path: /usr/bin
    name: wc
    input: STDIN
    options: -c

then call the pypit programme with the config file as argument:

$ pypit config.yaml
6

If you build your config to handle dynamic file, you can pass those file in arguments:

-
    path: /usr/bin
    name: sort
    input: STDIN
    options: -r
-
    path: /usr/bin
    name: wc
    input: STDIN
    options: -l

$ pypit config.yaml file.txt
6
