Trash: Using ipipe

The ipipe extension provides a handy way to browse and manipulate tabular data, e.g. groups of files or environment variables.
As the directory IPython/Extensions is on the path, you can simply import ipipe's content to activate it:
In [1]: from ipipe import *If you want to have it active every time you start IPython, put something like the following into your IPython configuration script (~/.ipython/ipy_user_conf.py (on Linux/Mac) or ~/_ipython/ipy_user_conf.py (on Windows)):
from IPython import ipapi
ipapi.get().ex("from ipipe import *")ipipe provides several "pipes", for example ils gives you a directory listing:
In [1]: ilsIf you have a working curses (i.e. on Linux or a Mac), you'll get an interactive browser where you can scroll around with the cursor keys, enter directories by pressing RETURN and leave them again by pressing BACKSPACE (or "x"). If you want to know more about the available keyboard commands, press "h" (for 0.7.2; for 0.7.3 this is "?" (changed in r1367)). Press "q" to leave the browser and get back to the IPython prompt. If you have wxPython installed (but no curses), you'll get a wx-based browser. If you don't have wx installed either, you'll get a simple "dump" of the data.
It's possible to specify the starting directory simply by passing an argument to ils: ils("~") will list your home directory (ils is equivalent to ils() and ils(".")).
iwalk gives you a recursive directory listing:
In [1]: iwalk("~/checkouts/IPython/current", dirs=False)(dirs=False hides all directories.)
All the files emitted by ils and iwalk are legal "path" objects (from path.py) (actually they are ifile objects. ifile is a subclass of path, which adds the attributes relevant for ipipe).
ipipe installs a displayhook to detect pipes that it can display in the browser. But you can also explicitly pipe something into an output object (either because it's an iterable which doesn't get displayed automatically in the browser, or you want to use a different output format). idump is such an output format. It simply dumps the table to the screen (which is the default on Windows). (Another one is igrid, which is the wx-based browser):

OS routines for Mac, DOS, NT, or Posix depending on what system we're on.
This exports:
- all functions from posix, nt, os2, mac, or ce, e.g. unlink, stat, etc.
- os.path is one of the modules posixpath, ntpath, or macpath
- os.name is 'posix', 'nt', 'os2', 'mac', 'ce' or 'riscos'
- os.curdir is a string representing the current directory ('.' or ':')
- os.pardir is a string representing the parent directory ('..' or '::')
- os.sep is the (or a most common) pathname separator ('/' or ':' or '\\\\')
- os.extsep is the extension separator ('.' or '/')
- os.altsep is the alternate pathname separator (None or '/')
- os.pathsep is the component separator used in $PATH etc
- os.linesep is the line separator in text files ('\\r' or '\\n' or '\\r\\n')
- os.defpath is the default search path for executables
- os.devnull is the file path of the null device ('/dev/null', etc.)
Programs that import and use 'os' stand a better chance of being
portable between different platforms. Of course, they must then
only use functions that are defined by all platforms (e.g., unlink
and opendir), and leave all pathname manipulation to os.path
(e.g., split and join).Using idump for docstrings doesn't look too useful, but if you're using ibrowse or igrid you can scroll around in the docstring.
You can pipe the output of ils and iwalk (and anything else that is iterable) into all sorts of filters.
ifilter can be used to drop some objects from the result. For example, the following will give you all .pyc files:
In [1]: iwalk | ifilter("_.endswith('.pyc')") | idump

In [1]: for f in iwalk("~/checkouts/IPython/current", dirs=False) | ifilter("_.endswith('.pyc')")
...: f.remove()Pipes support __getitem__, so to get the last .pyc file can you do:
In [1]: (iwalk("~/checkouts/IPython/current", dirs=False) | ifilter("_.endswith('.pyc')"))[-1]
Out[1]: ifile('/var/home/walter/checkouts/IPython/current/IPython/Extensions/pspersistence.pyc')It's possible to add [:SupportingIPipe:support for ipipe] to your own classes too.
It's easy to create custom one-off tables by using the FieldTable class, like this:
[tools]|37> f = ipipe.FieldTable('name','addr')
[tools]|38> f.add(name = 'Aku Ankka', addr = 'elm street')
[tools]|39> f.add(name = 'Iines Ankka', addr = 'some street')
[tools]|40> f
<40>
name |addr
Aku Ankka |elm street
Iines Ankka|some street
