        Better scripting with python
        
        Haven't you ever missed writing perl one liners? Or maybe you're more
        familiar with python than all the options of ``find``, but like the text
        interaction paradigm? ``pyli`` aims to make it easier to use python and
        all it's batteries in conjunction with your favorite hangout: the shell.
        
        Install
        -------
        
        ``pyli`` is available via ``pip``:
        
        ::
        
            pip install pyli
        
        Or directly via ``git`` and ``setup.py``:
        
        ::
        
            git clone https://github.com/thenoviceoof/pyli.git
        
            cd pyli
        
            sudo python setup.py
        
        Examples
        --------
        
        Let's do some warmups:
        
        ::
        
            pyli "2+2" # bc
        
            cat file.txt | pyli "line if 'string' in line else None" # grep
        
            cat file.txt | pyli "sum(len(l) + 1 for l in lines)" # wc -m
        
        And now something more complicated:
        
        ::
        
            log | pyli "str(time.time()) + ' ' + line" # time stamping a line
        
            cat file.txt | pyli "set(w for s in nltk.sent_tokenize(contents) for w in nltk.word_tokenize)" # bag of words a file
        
            cat file.json | pyli "pickle.dumps(json.loads(conts))" >file.pickle
        
            cat space_sep.dat | pyli "json.dumps(dict(parts))" >file.json
        
        Maybe it makes sense to separate commands:
        
        ::
        
            cat index.html | pyli "for l in [a.get('href') for a in bs4.BeautifulSoup(cs).find_all('a')]: print l" | pyli --text='something' "r = requests.get(li); li if text in r.text else None"
        
            cat index.html | pyli "hashlib.sha1(cs).hexdigest()" | pyli "encryptedfile.EncryptedFile(stdout, getpass.getpass()).write(cs)"
        
        Perhaps you want to keep it a one liner, but Python is too opinionated
        to let you do that:
        
        ::
        
            pyli -f "`ls -a`" "for l in f.split('\n'):" "    if '.git' == l: print 'git'"
        
        pyli
        ----
        
        Features:
        
        - Automatically import referred packages
        - Populate special CLI oriented variables
        
          * ``line`` (``li``, ``l``) - Gives you access to each line
          * ``lines`` (``lis``, ``ls``) - Access to the ``line`` generator
          * ``contents`` (``cont``, ``cs``) - Gives you access to all of stdin
            in one string
          * ``part``, (``p``) - Gives you access to the different fields of a
            space-separated line
          * ``parts``, (``ps``) - Access to the ``part`` generator
          * ``stdin``, ``stdout``, ``stderr`` - A shortcut to ``sys.std*`` streams
          * Accept arbitrary GNU style arguments (-c, --blah), and make them available
          * Print last statement; if an assignment, print the value assigned
            to variable(s)
          * If we are using ``line``/``part``, then print the last statement
            for each line
        
        Do note that you should only access one of these special variables at
        a time: no work has been put into combining these into something that
        makes sense, so if you want multiple variables, you'll have to do the
        legwork yourself.
        
        TODO
        ----
        
        - Move the engine to the nice-looking ``ast`` library
        - Make sure it works in more snakes than just 2.7.3 / 2.6.9
