About:
Pyp is a command-line utility that allows you to execute Python one-liners directly from your shell. It intelligently handles imports, argument parsing, and result printing, making it a powerful tool for quick data processing. This tool effectively bridges the gap between shell scripting and Python's rich ecosystem.
Key Features:
  • Automatic import inference
  • Built-in argument parsing
  • Clean output formatting
  • Pipeline support
Use Cases:
  • Quickly processing text data from shell pipelines
  • Performing complex math or date calculations in scripts
  • Accessing Python libraries from the command line
Alternatives:
  • pyspark – Pyp is for local, lightweight one-liners, whereas PySpark is for distributed big data processing.
  • bash – Pyp offers Python syntax and libraries, providing more power and readability than complex bash scripts.
