pygnuutils is a pure python implementation for GNU utils.
Install the last released version using pip:
python3 -m pip install --user -U pygnuutils
Or install the latest version from sources:
git clone git@github.com:matan1008/pygnuutils.git
cd pygnuutils
python3 -m pip install --user -U -e .
You can run commands by using pygnuutils prefix. For example, in order to list /tmp/foo you can run:
pygnuutils ls -lRh /tmp/foo
To use pygnuutils you can write the following:
from pygnuutils.ls import Ls
ls = Ls()
ls('/tmp', all_=True)
Perhaps the best reason to use this library instead of gnu is the dependency injection ability.
For example, in order to print a message each time a symlink is resolved:
import os
from pygnuutils.ls import Ls, LsStub
class ReadlinkWatch(LsStub):
def readlink(self, path, dir_fd=None):
print(f'Resolving {path}...')
return os.readlink(path, dir_fd=dir_fd)
ls = Ls(stub=ReadlinkWatch())
ls('/tmp', all_=True, long=True)
