The pipes module
(Unix only). This module contains support functions to create “conversion pipelines”. You can create a pipeline consisting of a number of external utilities, and use it on one or more files.
Example: Using the pipes module
# File: pipes-example-1.py import pipes t = pipes.Template() # create a pipeline t.append("sort", "--") t.append("uniq", "--") # filter some text t.copy("samples/sample.txt", "")
