subprocesslib 0.1.0

Object-oriented subprocess

Subprocesslib

subprocesslib is a Python library that aims to be like pathlib but for the subprocess module.

Usage

Here's a simple example of how to use SubprocessLib:

from subprocesslib import Command

command = Command('tail', '-n', 5, '/var/log/syslog')
print(command)  # Command('tail', '-n', '5', '/var/log/syslog')
print(isinstance(command, tuple))  # True
print(str(command))  # "tail -n 5 /var/log/syslog" (using `shlex.join`)

# sync methods
command.spawn()  # same as `subprocess.Popen(...)`
command.run()  # same as `subprocess.run(...)`
command.output()  # same as `subprocess.check_output(...)`

# async methods
await command.spawn_async()  # Same as `asyncio.create_subprocess_exec(...)`

Todo

• await command.run_async()
• await command.output_async()
