Python has grown on me as an alternative to bash

Including compared to c# the ease of making shell calls

Os.system()

It’s alright.
I don’t like its syntax (or significant whitespace) yet it is definitely a useful tool.

For quick shell scripting like things I've recently came across "just" (https://github.com/casey/just )

It's a surprisingly well designed little tool and you can even easily switch out the "interpreter" and just write powershell, python, whatever as if it was shell script

@Root I dunno it's not like it's rpg
Kind of forces good spacing
Don't really mind
I just bash scripting lol

@Root I like everything c like
Bash you're one space off between a bracket and it's fucked

@12bitfloat Sounds interesting. I’ll have to look it up!

@Root just the quick and dirty with the robustness that I like
And it supports gdal :)

Don't use os.system

Use subprocess.run("your shell command", shell=true, check=true)

os.system is deprecated and less useful. With check=true your scripts will automatically pass correct.. status error code back to shell if one of them failed

Though when possible I prefer
https://taskfile.dev/
Kind of more language agnostic and standardized solution.
Cross breed between makefiles, yaml and local executable CI workflows

@darkwind notes
Let you capture the io streams too ?

@darkwind not that I really need that right now my use is so simple presently

I'm just processing the output of ls since I can't seem to find a way to compose subprocess calls in.xargs

@AvatarOfKaine subprocess can catch stdout/stderr to Python objects

Also. "Import argparse" is a friend for input to scripts. Very CI friendly, self documented as a code input

@darkwind ever have one of those days when you really really are starting to realize how badly you want to bone someone ?

Sigh
I've just been reminded of a younger me I'm a different situation by some viewing choices

@darkwind also looking at the docs now

Oooo daddy does like

@darkwind now what needs to happen is daddy needs to continue to likey because making everything as it's been is dumb

And these fucks owe much more than a lay or two that lasts an hour or less

python is great for making those stupid little scripts, I've been using it a lot for csv files

wasn't it designed exactly for that? to be a simple scripting language

@Root will you help me in my quest to get people interested in project buildbox evil sorta woman ?
