Some utils for file manipulation scripts
Project description
Pysh
About
Pysh aims at providing the tools required to write in Python the script I would have written in bash before.
Python provide a more robust, and more powerful environment for scripting and makes the script easier to maintain and extend. Pysh makes it possible to write file manipulation script just as quickly as in bash.
It should be good both for quick one-of scripts, as well as more complex reusable small programs.
Installation
Be careful: the pysh
name was already taken on PyPI, it is a different package, that I have nothing to do with.
My package is named tc-pysh
pip install tc-pysh
Usage
At the center of pysh is the path facilities: pysh.AbsolutePath
and pysh.RelativePath
are objects representing locations in the file system taht are easy to manipulate and use with pysh utils, as well as with most of python standard library thanks to os.PathLike
.
pysh.utils
provides equivalents of the commonly used commands in bash scripts such as mv
, cp
, rm
, cat
, etc.
pysh.ls
and pysh.find
provides familiar interface to the pysh.query
facilities, making it easy to browse a directory or arborescence, with tools likes sorting and filtering in the form of iterators, building on top of the standard library and the re
standard module.
pysh.file
provides a set of functions that are related to file content, like grep
, head
and tail
.
Here is an example of using ls
to print the sizes of all text files of a directory.
from pysh import ls
from pysh.file import size, human
for f in ls().name(r".*\.txt").sort():
s = size(f)
s, u = human(s)
print(str(f), s, u)
