ayrton 0.2

Source

It's that time of the year already: a new ayrton version. This time I got more improvements than before, and for the first time1 I introduce a backwards incompatible change, but at least is well Documented in the Debian-like NEWS.rst file, and it's for a good cause2.

So, without further addo, the ChangeLog (mixed with the NEWS)3:

  • New function options() is similar to bash's set command. So far only the errexit and its short versions is accepted.
  • The ssh() context manager was renamed to remote() so the ssh executable is stills reachable from code. This was due to the fact that ssh is too complex to mimic.
  • New function shift() similar to bash's command of the same name. See the docs.
  • New function source() similar to bash's command4 allows to "import" another script's local definitions into the "sourcing" script's.

As usual, you can grab the sources from pypi or GitHub.

  1. No, really, who can actually come up with that phrases when the product has only 3 previous releases... take it with a grain of salt. ↩

  2. That cause being that I'm lazy and I don't plan to reimplement all the functionality available in the ssh executable. ↩

  3. Actually, this changelog is proof-read nad more complete that any other that you will find elsewhere. Code burns in the disk and I'm not so used to this release thing yet. I hope to get better soon. ↩

  4. Do you see the pattern here? ↩
