I have a bunch of really horrible hacked-up bash scripts which I would really like to convert to python, so I can extend and neaten them. However, I'm having some trouble mapping some constructs easily, and was wondering if anyone know of a guide to mapping simple uses of command line programs to python.
For an example, the kind of thing I am thinking of are things like (yes, this is horrible code). # These are a run of a program I have written ./proggy -test1 > out1 ./proggy -test2 > out2 #Do some simple manipulation of the output. grep Node out1 > new_out1 grep Node out2 > new_out2 diff out1 out2 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
