# pyli

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 of the command line? `pyli` aims to make it
easier to use python and all its batteries in conjunction with the
shell.

## Install

`pyli` is available from `pypi` via `pip`:

```
pip install pyli
```

You can also download the source directly:

```
git clone https://github.com/thenoviceoof/pyli.git
pip install pyli/
```

Unfortunately, type annotations mean the minimum supported Python
version is 3.9.

## 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 some more complicated examples:

```
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.
