Pype

Pype lets you run python on data as you pipe it around in your terminal.

Usage

To make a string upper case:

>> echo "python" | pype '_.upper()'
PYTHON

To get the last value in a comma separated list:

>> echo "1,2,3,4,5" | pype '_.split(",")[-1]'
5

Options

If you need to import packages for your one-liner, just pass them using the -m option.

We can use this to make GET requests on a list of URLs using requests, doing something similar to what could be done with curl and jq.

cat links.txt | pype 'requests.get(_).json()["coord"]["lon"]' -m requests

If you want the variable that your input is called to be different than the default _, you can rename it using -n to make your one-liner easier to read.

cat links.txt | pype 'requests.get(link).json()["coord"]["lon"]' -m requests -n link
