Pythonpy

Looks so useful, can't believe I never thought of hacking something to do that. Will experiment with it!

I like it! Now I can count the number of files I have in a directory: ``` ls |py -l 'sum(1 for x in l)' ``` And also I can count the number of files whose names matche a certain…

I usually use Python(or another lang's interpreter) as my calculator, so this will save me a few keystrokes in the future. I think I'll still use short scripts rather than the…

I attempted to install on Windows - it doesn't work due to the lack of os.geteuid(), which is called in the setup.py file to check for root. With a little bit of finagling I…

Yea, sorry about that. I had an initiative to make a windows version, wpy, a little after launch, but couldn't really get any windows developers interested in making it happen.…

You'll probably want to learn the regular unix way as well. Tools like this are nice, but you're already 99% there as it is for most things. ``` ls | wc -l ls | grep -c .py ```…

Honest question. Why would I want to use this? I am already quite happy with awk,sed,grep, etc.

ls | py -x '"mv %s %s.txt" % (x,x)' | sh has me worried, I can't find the escape code directly. Also you might wish to offer the following api ls | py -X '["mv","%s","%s.txt"]…

Hmm, I just added this example yesterday, and it seems to be highly contested, so I'll exchange it for something less controversial. That being said, if you're concerned about…

Would've been more useful with a language that doesn't limit one-liners (e.g. you can't have "for x in [1,2,3]: dothing1(x); dothing2(x)").

Nice. Similar to PyP from Sony Imageworks: http://opensource.imageworks.com/?p=pyp The Pyed Piper Tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWtVWF0JSJA

I wrote a similar tool a while back: http://gfxmonk.net/dist/doc/piep/ Mostly out of frustration for PyP not being lazy (on large inputs it reads the entire file up-front, or at…

A simpler version of py is e ⌘ https://pypi.python.org/pypi/e/1.4.5

For reference, you can do this using the wc core utility. The -l option makes it count the number of lines so 'wc -l' will do the same thing as your sum expression.

'wc -l' counts the number of lines. It also supports '-c' and '-b'. To work with input split into columns, use awk. By default, it assumes the columns are separated with spaces.…
