After so boring to write the same routines by python, bash (unix) and batch (windows). I want to find a way to generate bash script and batch script from a python script, so that the routines could be reused and I needn't to rewrote them again and again in different shell scripts.
I found some projects related:
Use custom C like language to write your unified script and generate shell scripts for different OS.
I like this idea, it's close to my requirement.
But there have some reasons make me give up this solution:
- Does not have an easy way to install this program, especially on windows. You have to compile it yourself (It's a little uncomfortable as a user)
- Implemented in OCaml which I don't familiar with
- I don't think it's a good idea to introduce a new language for this task
It mixed python and shell command together.
All shell commands will be starts with "<" character, other codes the same with python.
All stuffs are mixed together into a single *.pysh file.
Use the pysh command to translate shell commands content into standard python source and then spawn a python to execute the python source.
I give up this solution either:
- The way it achieve the unify script isn't my original purpose, although it have not introduce another new language and just extended a new keyword for more easy integate shell commands.
- Depends on python, it's fine to depends on python while we developing the script, there have easy installation packages for each OS. But I don't want the final user have to install a python environment, just for run my script.
So, finally, I try to write one : https://github.com/starofrainnight/pytoshell
