Convenience methods for file/process operations

Project description

Convenience methods for file/process operations

Version on pypi Travis CI codecov Python versions tested (link to github project)

Overview

runez is a small convenience library for common operations I found myself rewriting multiple times.

It comes in handy for programs that need to run other programs, or copy/move files etc.

The name was initially meant as “run ez” (“run easy”), the fact that it sounds like “runes” gives it a bit of a mystery/magic side that’s also relatively appropriate (it does indeed concentrate a bit of invocation magic, as you can save quite a few lines of repetitive code by using it)

Features

  • Support for dryrun mode (show what would be done, but don’t do it)

  • Perform most typical logging setups in one call to runez.log.setup()

  • Log operations systematically (at debug level mostly), examples:

    Running: foo ...
    Copy foo -> bar
    Would move foo -> bar    (for dryrun)
  • CaptureOutput context manager -> grab output/logging from any code section

  • Take care of most edge cases, with nice errors

  • Functions can be called without checking for return code etc (abort by default, with nice error)

  • They can also be called with fatal=False, in which case the return value will indicate whether call succeeded or not

  • 100% test coverage

Example

Run a program:

import runez

# Aborts if "foo" doesn't exist
output = runez.run("ls", "foo")

# Output can also be ignored
runez.run("ls", "foo")

# Don't capture output, just run the command and let output "pass through"
runez.run("ls", "foo", stdout=None, stderr=None)

# Don't abort, return False on failure (or actual output when successful)
output = runez.run("ls", "foo", fatal=False)

File operations:

import runez

runez.touch("foo")
runez.copy("foo", "bar")
runez.move("foo", "baz")
runez.delete("foo")

runez.write("foo", "bar\nbaz\n")
first = runez.first_line("foo")
lines = runez.get_lines("foo")

full_path = runez.resolved_path("foo/bar")
folder = runez.parent_folder(full_path)
runez.ensure_folder(folder)
with runez.Anchored(folder):
    assert runez.short(full_path) == "bar"

Installation

As usual, available on pypi: pip install runez
