extproc Description

Easy fork-exec and pipe with I/O redirection The extproc module is a layer on top of subprocess. The subprocess module supports a rich API but is clumsy for many common use cases, namely sync/async fork-exec, command substitution and pipelining, all of which is trivial to do on system shells.The goal is to make Python a sane alternative to non-trivial shell scripts.Documentation is at http://github.com/aht/extproc/.This module depends on Python 2.6, or where subprocess is available. Doctests require /bin/sh to pass. Tested on Linux.
