Pypipe

Write shell pipeline in Python with your favorite Python syntax.

For example, you can write a pipeline in Python like the following:

a = pypipe.sh("find . -name *.py").grep('test').head(10).list()

And the above code will return a list containing the first 10 python filename including 'test' as its substring.

Intro

To use pypipe, just import it, and use its sh as entry point, like the following example:

import pypipe

for line in pypipe.sh("find . -name *.py").grep('test').head(10):
    print line # do whatever you want for each line

After you after call the sh function, you can use other useful tool like grep or head to chain the "pipeline", separated by . instead of |. And you can use it in a for loop so that you can iterate over the result easily.
