:mod:`pipes` --- Interface to shell pipelines
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: pipes
|
|
:platform: Unix
|
|
:synopsis: A Python interface to Unix shell pipelines.
|
|
:deprecated:
|
|
|
|
.. sectionauthor:: Moshe Zadka <moshez@zadka.site.co.il>
|
|
|
|
**Source code:** :source:`Lib/pipes.py`
|
|
|
|
.. deprecated-removed:: 3.11 3.13
|
|
The :mod:`pipes` module is deprecated
|
|
(see :pep:`PEP 594 <594#pipes>` for details).
|
|
Please use the :mod:`subprocess` module instead.
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`pipes` module defines a class to abstract the concept of a *pipeline*
|
|
--- a sequence of converters from one file to another.
|
|
|
|
Because the module uses :program:`/bin/sh` command lines, a POSIX or compatible
|
|
shell for :func:`os.system` and :func:`os.popen` is required.
|
|
|
|
.. availability:: Unix, not VxWorks.
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`pipes` module defines the following class:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. class:: Template()
|
|
|
|
An abstraction of a pipeline.
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
>>> import pipes
|
|
>>> t = pipes.Template()
|
|
>>> t.append('tr a-z A-Z', '--')
|
|
>>> f = t.open('pipefile', 'w')
|
|
>>> f.write('hello world')
|
|
>>> f.close()
|
|
>>> open('pipefile').read()
|
|
'HELLO WORLD'
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _template-objects:
|
|
|
|
Template Objects
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Template objects following methods:
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Template.reset()
|
|
|
|
Restore a pipeline template to its initial state.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Template.clone()
|
|
|
|
Return a new, equivalent, pipeline template.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Template.debug(flag)
|
|
|
|
If *flag* is true, turn debugging on. Otherwise, turn debugging off. When
|
|
debugging is on, commands to be executed are printed, and the shell is given
|
|
``set -x`` command to be more verbose.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Template.append(cmd, kind)
|
|
|
|
Append a new action at the end. The *cmd* variable must be a valid bourne shell
|
|
command. The *kind* variable consists of two letters.
|
|
|
|
The first letter can be either of ``'-'`` (which means the command reads its
|
|
standard input), ``'f'`` (which means the commands reads a given file on the
|
|
command line) or ``'.'`` (which means the commands reads no input, and hence
|
|
must be first.)
|
|
|
|
Similarly, the second letter can be either of ``'-'`` (which means the command
|
|
writes to standard output), ``'f'`` (which means the command writes a file on
|
|
the command line) or ``'.'`` (which means the command does not write anything,
|
|
and hence must be last.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Template.prepend(cmd, kind)
|
|
|
|
Add a new action at the beginning. See :meth:`append` for explanations of the
|
|
arguments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Template.open(file, mode)
|
|
|
|
Return a file-like object, open to *file*, but read from or written to by the
|
|
pipeline. Note that only one of ``'r'``, ``'w'`` may be given.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: Template.copy(infile, outfile)
|
|
|
|
Copy *infile* to *outfile* through the pipe.
