Unix-like split command in Python (simple version) (Python)

2016-03-14T22:35:05-07:00

Python recipe 580620 by Vasudev Ram (commandline, linux, python, shell, split, splitting, unix, utilities, utility, windows).

This recipe shows how to create a simple version of the Unix split command in Python. The split command splits an input file into multiple smaller files, the size of each of which is specified by a command-line argument giving the number of lines per file. This is useful for multiple purposes, such as editing large files in pieces, backing up files to small capacity storage devices, sending files across the network, etc.

Pants (Python)

2012-07-03T05:31:24-07:00

Python recipe 578188 by Stephen Chappell (archive, old, programs, shell).

According to memory this is a port of a shell script called pants that allows one to "start," "stop," "restart," and find the "status" of one's pants (the program itself). I am not sure what the silliness is about but must have found the idea interesting to rewrite in Python. This is committed for archival to be run under Python 2.5 or later versions.

Simple invocation of shell commands (Python)

2011-10-21T06:44:35-07:00

Python recipe 577891 by Nick Coghlan (processes, shell). Revision 3.

Some simple wrappers around the subprocess functions for use in system administration utilities that frequently need to interpolate trusted data into shell commands (e.g. filenames from directory listings, etc):

import shellcmd
return_code = shellcmd.shell_call('ls -l {}', dirname)
listing = shellcmd.check_shell_output('ls -l {}', dirname)

Each function invokes the subprocess function of the same name with shell=True and the supplied command string. Any positional and keyword arguments provided to the call are interpolated into the command string with the str.format method.

Teach the hashbang header new tricks using a dual mode shell/python script (Python)

Python recipe 577851 by Oren Tirosh (hashbang, interpreter, options, python, sh, shell).

This dual-mode script is both a Posix shell script and a python script. The shell part looks like a triple-quoted string to the Python interpreter. The shell does not reach anything after the exec statement.

Python recipe 577818 by Giampaolo Rodolà (color, debugging, highlighting, shell). Revision 3.

Ok, this is really simple but I think it worths a recipe as it's one of those things I always use in shell scripts and for debugging in general.
