Description

Ever wished the compactness of shell scripts be put into a real programming language? Say hello to Plumbum Shell Combinators. Plumbum (Latin for lead, which was used to create pipes back in the day) is a small yet feature-rich library for shell script-like programs in Python. The motto of the library is "Never write shell scripts again", and thus it attempts to mimic the shell syntax ("shell combinators") where it makes sense, while keeping it all Pythonic and cross-platform.

Apart from shell-like syntax and handy shortcuts, the library provides local and remote command execution (over SSH), local and remote file-system paths, easy working-directory and environment manipulation, and a programmatic Command-Line Interface (CLI) application toolkit.

py-plumbum: updated to 2.0.2

2.0.2 Fixes: * CLI parsing and terminal fixes: exact switch names win over abbreviations, clear errors for ``--flag=value`` on no-argument switches and for unknown ``requires``/``excludes`` names, ``Set`` no longer validates the unsplit CSV string, ``--helpall`` no longer corrupts later ``--help`` output, ``ask``/``choose``/``prompt`` no longer loop forever on closed stdin, and wide/tall images render with the right aspect * Subprocess and pipeline lifecycle fixes: ``bgrun`` kills and reaps the process when the body raises, pipeline call-time args bind to the source command, leaked pipeline pipes are closed, the async TEE handles long lines and multibyte characters and reaps on failure, equal timeout deadlines no longer kill the timeout thread, and daemon fixes …
