QuickShell: Simplify Shell Command Execution in Python

QuickShell is a simple Python library designed to remove the boilerplate when dealing with shell commands.

Key Features

• Asynchronous Execution: Run shell commands asynchronously using asyncio.
• Flexible Output Handling: Easily print and capture command output and errors.

Installation

Get started with QuickShell by installing it via pip:

pip install quickshell

Usage

use QuickShell to quickly run a command:

import asyncio
from quickshell import run_shell

async def main():
    cmd = 'echo Hello from the shell!'
    stdout, stderr = await run_shell(cmd, print_output=True) # Output: Hello from the shell!
    
if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.run(main())

Explanation

• Importing the Library: the run_shell function is imported from the quickshell library.
• Define the Command: Replace "dir" with the shell command you want to execute.
• Running the Command: The run_shell function executes the command asynchronously and captures its output.
• Printing the Output: Set print_output=True to print the live output and errors from the shell.
