StaSh - Shell Like an Expert in Pythonista
-
It would be nice to have the zip comand on Stash, I only see unzip or tar, but Pythonista don't recognize tar.gz
-
@mncfre
zipis now added. You can get it viaselfupdatefrom within StaSh. Or if you want to get the latest development version, trySELFUPDATE_BRANCH=dev selfupdate. You'll need restart StaSh afterwards. Thanks! -
@ywangd thanks a lot, this is by far the best shell in Pythonista

I noticed that the pip command allows you to list all modules installed using this command and specially allows you to update individual modules! This is very useful! So I cleaned up my environment in Pythonista and now I'm handling everything with StaSh.
I was able to run many libraries in Pythonista without having to change them much, I tried only to override the functions. So now I'm creating StaSh scripts for running CLI program written in Python: in practice the first time they are run if the modules they needs are not installed they install these modules (as the command git) and apply monkey patches.
For those who have just installed Pythonista and want to install StaSh I created a simplified installation creating a shortened url for getstash.py.
To install StaSh just copy the following line in the Pythonista console:
import requests; exec requests.get('http://bit.ly/StaSh').textCongratulations to all for this fantastic tool!

@whitone - Thanks for posting this. I have never used pip and my setup under Pythonista is now littered with many modules that I manually "installed". It is not hard, but I figured that there must be a better way. I also have no idea what monkey patches are about so I need to do some reading.
If you have any cycles it would be very instructional to have one quick tutorial on a useful program you installed and converted and the patches you had to apply to get it working and how you now have this captured and automated using stash - pip, etc.
One last question - are you referring to CLI programs in general or using the PyCLI module: https://pythonhosted.org/pyCLI/ ? This seems like a great way to go for writing scripts and gets people going using logging and a good command line interface.

@whitone Glad you find the pip module useful. It's still limited on which packages it can install but it manages most of the common ones. We have tried to stub out setuptool as best we can but there are so many use cases. Currently pip will simply look for a folder with the same name as the package and put it into site-packages. Then it will look for src/package_name and as a last resort will attempt to run the setup.
I think @omz should add StaSh to the pythonista installation. It;s incredably useful and community developed. Props to @ywangd for creating such an awesome package.
-
@whitone The one line installation is a great idea. If it is OK with you, I'll add it to the README file as part of the installation instruction. The great work of
pipis done by @briarfox. StaSh is made better by the excellent contributions from the community.After seeing the discussions, I am thinking to have something like "Tip/Treasure of the day" when StaSh starts up. Seems to be a good way for users to discover some useful tools and features in a non-intrusive manner.
-
@ywangd Tip of the day is a great idea, If I hadn't recently dove into linux command-line I'd be lost in staSh.
-
Great tool, thank you.<br /><br />
I want to ask if there is a trick using the find command?<br />
I always get:<br />
stash: IndentationError('unindent does not match any outer indentation level', ('findy.py', 148, 17, ...)<br /><br />
[~/Documents]$ find . -name "*.py" -
@brumm works for me. Probably you edited
bin/find.pyby accident. The original is 147 lines long, but the error message refers to line 148.., -
@oefe thank you 😀. My mistake...
-
An amazingly useful piece of software - thank you very much.
I had been trying to get MQTT running on the iPad - didn't have any joy loading paho-mqtt but pip install mosquitto does seem to be OK so far. -
It'd be cool to use this to keep user themes in stash and get all pythonista's features

I do plan to upgrade StaSh using the new and cool
ctypesstuff. However, it may not use the Editor Internals as it is private and @omz does not recommend to use it seriously. So unless a more complete documentation about the Editor is available, I'll probably avoid using it. -
Ok. Sounds good, I look forward to it.
-
Simply the most wonderful thing to add to my iPhone
second to Pythonista of course :-) -
Hey does anyone no how to add an image in the background of stash. Like instead of changing background color you can add a background image ??????
-
@daveman It's not possible without editing the source code (Having an image as a terminal background is stupid anyway, if you ask me :P)
-
Thank you for writing this and sharing it. StaSh is great.
