jbang-python - Java Script in your Python

Install and use JBang from Python-based projects.

Lets you use your own local scripts, JBang AppStore alias or any network reachable jar or Maven artifact.

Usage

The jbang.exec() function accepts a string that will be passed as the command-line arguments to the jbang executable.

Given this script test.py:

#! /usr/bin/env python
import jbang
jbang.exec('properties@jbangdev')

Now you can invoke the test script from the command-line:

python test.py

You can easily pass command-line arguments around:

import sys
args = ' '.join(sys.argv1:])
jbang.exec('com.myco.mylib:RELEASE ' + args)

So now if you run python test.py arg1 arg2, arg1 arg2 will be appended to the command executed.

Behind the scenes

When you run pip install - JBang and other dependencies will be installed. This uses the app setup command.

Opening a new terminal or shell may be required to be able to use the jbang command from the system PATH.
