I'll keep this short. During the weekend I found a bug in ayrton. I fixed it
in develop, and decided to make a release with it, because it was kind of a
showstopper. It was the first time I decided to use ayrton for a oneliner.
It was this one:
ayrton -c "rm(v=True, locate('.xvpics', _out=Capture))"See, ayrton's native support for filenames with spaces makes it a perfect
replacement for find and xargs and tools like that. That command simply finds
all the files or directories called like .xvpics using locate and removes them. There is a
little bit of magic where locate's output becomes rm's arguments, but probably
not magic enough: _out=Capture has to be specified. We'll probably fix that
in the near future.
So, enjoy the new release. It just fixes a couple of bugs, one of them directly related to this oneliner. Here's the changelog:
- The 'Release From The Bus' release.
- Bugfix release.
Argvshould not be created with an empty list.- Missing dependencies.
- Several typos.
- Fix for
_h(). - Handle
paramikoexceptions. - Calling
ayrton -c <script>was failing because the file name properly was not properly (f|b)aked. ayrton --versiondidn't work!
Meanwhile, a little about its future. I have been working on ayrton on and off.
Right now I'm gathering energy to modify pypy's Python parser so it supports
py3.6's formatted string literals. With this I can later update ayrton's parser,
which is based on pypy's. A part of it has been done, but then I run out of gas.
I think FSLs are perfect for ayrton in its aim to replace shell script languages.
In other news, there's a nasty remote() bug that I can't pin down. These two
things might mean that there won't be a significant release for a while.
