lincl

Linux commands line as python methods

This project is ccreate to help avoiding calling subprocess. While working on another script project I was doing lot o system calls. Having to always import subprocess with Popen, checkoutput, checkcall with ugly arguments to pass as --show-lines or --include=A,B,C, I decided to implement something python readable.

Usage

Pythonic approch and very simple to use:

from lincl import cp as copy

copy(src, dest, recursive=True, force=True)
>> cp --recursive --force src dest

# Or

from lincl import deboostrap

deboostrap("stable", "destination", variant="buildd" include=["A", "B", "C"])
>> deboostrap --variant=buildd --include=A,B,C stable destination

Requirements

To use this package you need:

• Python 3.7 or higher (Tested with python3.7. Let me know for lowers)
• Linux based is prefered (Tested on Debian buster)
• You still need sudo for sudo syscall
