enginepy

A simple and powerful python API for running external commands.

Arguments toggle the behavior of STDOUT and STDERR.

• DISPLAY - prints stdout to stdout, stderr to stderr
• CAPTURE - returns stdout as result['stdout'], stderr as result['stderr']
• IGNORE - ignores the value
• APPEND - append to a file you specify
• OVERWRITE - write to a file you specify

Specify stdout_filepath or stderr_filepath using keyword arguments.

The result returned is a dictionary.

The return code is found in result['code'].

    result = Engine('ls -l', Engine.CAPTURE, Engine.CAPTURE).run()
    pprint(result)
