On: Plumbum: Pythonic Shell Combinators

[tav]

It's not. The reasons that one might use `plumbum` are similar to the reasons that one might use `fabric` instead of just running local/remote shell scripts, i.e.

- Ability to leverage the richness of Python to pre/post-process the inputs/outputs from other shell commands.

- Easier to parameterise and maintain.

- Familiarity with Python over the likes of bash, zsh, etc.

Em, the fabric version would be much more readable I'm not mistaken:

local("ls - l | grep foo")

[jshharlow → gbog]

From looking at the code it seems like plumbum is more object oriented, instead of having stuff like https://github.com/fabric/fabric/blob/master/fabric/state.py... in fabric, so thats a good move forward.

Yes, because OOP is salvation. Right?

[harlowja → cheatercheater]

Right, lol.
