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
