Pyped 0.1

Pyped: command that pipes data from bash to Python, and vice-versa
=================================================================

Ever wish you could do this::

$ ps aux | py "'-'.join(x.split()[:3])" | grep 0.1
user-2140-1.1
user-2207-0.1
root-5091-0.0
user-20717-0.0
user-20817-0.0

Or this::

$ ls -1 | py -i "Counter([path.splitext(line)[1] for line in x]).items()"
(u'.sh', 2)
('', 3)
(u'.sh~', 3)
(u'.py', 4)
(u'.desktop', 1)


Pyped make that possible by giving you the `py` commande.

How to install ?
=================

Just type::

pip install pyped

Please note this is alpha code, it will void your waranty, you may take weight,
loose your job and your wife and endorse unspeakable believes.

How to use ?
=============

Usage::

shell_command | py [-options] "any python instructions" [| another_shell_function]

Your python code will have access to the variable `x`, which will be a line from
stdin converted to unicode. All lines from stdin will be stuffed
to `x`, and then your python code will be executed.

Your code MUST return something convertible to unicode, as unicode() will be called on it.

E.G::

ls /etc/ | grep conf | tail | py "x.upper()"

There is only one option at the moment::

-i

If you pass `-i`, then `x` will not contain a string, but an iterable for which
each call to `next()` return a line of stdin, converted to unicode.

In that case you code MUST return an iterable for which
each call to `next()` return an object convertible to unicode, as unicode
will be called on it.

E.G::

ls /etc/ | grep conf | tail | py -i "[i.upper() for i in x]"

immidiatly available in your Python code::
