A powerful utility that empowers pythonistas in the command line
Project description
What is pythonp?
pythonp
is a simple utility script that helps you using python on the
command line. Basically, it's a python -c
command with a handy print
function p
. See examples below to see how convenient it can be.
By design, no magic is added in pythonp
in a hope that
it will be merged into some major python implementations later
and becomes default setting for python -c
. Therefore, any kind of
valid python code should be able to run with pythonp
and only
python code can be run.
How to install
You can install it via pip
python -m pip install pythonp
or you can simply download this repository and copy __main__.py
to
one of your $PATH
locations
cp pythonp/__main__.py ...../pythonp
Handy global variables defined
p
A handy print function with commandline usage in mind. It has the
similar interface to the built-in print
with some exceptions.
- It specially handles a single iterable as an argument, in which case it prints as many times as the number of elements in the iterable. Giving extra positional arguments along with an iterable is not allowed.
lines
Standard input lines. You can think of it as sys.stdin
except that
each line of it doesn't end with a newline character. Also note that it's
subscriptable and allows a one-time random access, which means you
can do something lines[3], lines[10:]
.
l
l
is a line. It doesn't end with a new line character like each line
of lines
.
Without -e
option, pythonp
read a line from sys.stdlin
and assign the line to l
each time you access it. It's usually used
to retrieve only the first few lines.
With -e
option, it represent each line
of the standard input. See the feature explanation about -e
option below.
_lines
Lazy evaluted non-stream-like version of lines
.
Becuase it's a collections.abc.Sequence
, you can access its
lines multiple times, reverse it, do inclusion test on it,
and so forth. The lines are not prepared until you actually
use it to save up memory.
Features
-
The last expression is automatically printed with
p
function if your code dind't write anything tosys.stdout
and the last expression does not evalute toNone
. If you don't want this feature you can put something like;pass
or;None
in the end of your code. -
If
-e
option is given, your code can work on each linel
, not the entire lineslines
or_lines
. The nameslines
and_lines
will disappear and can not be used. Note that in the current implementation globals are shared among all lines and there could be side effects. This is a intended behavior but can change in the future. -
Automatic importing is supported.
pythonp
automatically tries to import a name for you when it encounters an unseen one. -
Backtick(`) in code is replaced with
"""
so that you can have one more way to make string literals. In python 3.6 or abovef
prefix is also added to make the enclosed section a f-string. For example, you can do something like
$ echo 91/seoul/bombs | pythonp -e "`name='{l.split('/')[2]}'`" # python3.6+
name='bombs'
Examples
Print numbers
$ pythonp 'range(3)'
0
1
2
Print time
$ pythonp 'time.time()'
1546362172.5707405
Get the last item from a list
$ echo "1:2:3:4:5" | pythonp "l.split(':')[-1]"
List files whose names are longer than 5
$ ls | pythonp -e "if len(l)>5: p(l)"

pythonp
setup.py
Randomly sample N files to investigate from a large number of files
ls | pythonp "random.sample(_lines, 3)"
item_1443
item_6360
item_7285
Concatenate filenames
$ ls | pythonp "','.join(l.strip() for l in lines if not 'bombs' in l)"
LICENSE,README.md,pythonp,setup.py
Get the 4th column of the processs status
$ ps | tail -n+1 | pythonp -e "l.split()[3]"
/usr/local/bin/fish
-fish
python3
ssh
# or, using only pythonp
$ ps | pythonp "lines[1:]" | pythonp -e "l.split()[3]"
You can also do some crazy stuffs becuase pythonp can do anything that python can do
# If you have to solve a weird quiz
$ pythonp "now=datetime.datetime.now();(now.year+now.day)%10"
# Make at most 5 random names
$ pythonp "'\n'*5" | pythonp -e "''.join(random.sample(string.ascii_letters, 7))" | xargs touch
# If you want an one-liner crawler
$ cat urls.txt | pythonp -e 'requests.get(l.strip())' > output
Misc
- If you want a shorter name for
pythonp
you can do something like this.
mv $(which pythonp) $(dirname $(which pythonp))/p # rename pythonp to p
-
Both python2 and python3 are supported.

Refer to python official docs to learn useful string manipulating functions https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html
-
It is a good idea to use generator expressions or list comprehensions with pythonp https://docs.python.org/3/howto/functional.html
