Something I've been working on for the last few weeks: http://plumbum.readthedocs.org/<http://plumbum.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html>
The idea is to *never have to write shell scripts again*. It's the same story every time, and it begins with "Oh, I just need to write a 5-liner shell script for this and that", and before you know it, you have 200 lines of a horrible bash script, parsing command line options, doing for-loops on lists of files and whatnot. No more! With Plumbum (Latin for `lead`, which was used to create pipes...), you can easily use pipes, redirect input/output, execute local or remote programs, and even write CLI applications way better than alternatives like optparse/argparse. Note that it's the first release; I hope to reach 1.0 by the end of the month. ----------------------------------------------------------------- *Tomer Filiba* tomerfiliba.com <http://www.facebook.com/tomerfiliba> <http://il.linkedin.com/in/tomerfiliba>
