Simple and easy-to-use runner for Python scripts

Usage

• pip install Runner And then:

  Python 2.7.4 (default, Apr 19 2013, 18:28:01) 
  [GCC 4.7.3] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> from Runner import Run
  >>> result = Run.command("cat /etc/passwd")
  >>> result
  <Run->0 stdout='root:x:0:0:root:...' stderr='...'>
  (you see the strings are trimmed here just to be clean)
  >>> result.rc
  0
  >>> result.stdout
  'CONTENT OF MY /ETC/PASSWD FILE :)'
  >>> result.stderr
  ''
  >>> bool(result)
  True
  >>> newrun = result.rerun()
  >>> newrun  # Old one is preserved
  <Run->0 stdout='root:x:0:0:root:...' stderr='...'>
  >>> will_fail = Run.command("cat asdfasdf")
  >>> will_fail
  <Run->1 stdout='...' stderr='cat: asdfasdf: N...'>
  >>> bool(will_fail)
  False
  >>> will_fail.stderr
  'cat: asdfasdf: No such file or directory\n'
  >>> last_one = Run.bash("cat /etc/passwd | grep -E root")
  >>> bool(last_one)
  True
  >>> last_one.stdout
  'root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash\n'
  >>>
