sh is a full-fledged subprocess replacement for Python 2, Python 3, PyPy and PyPy3 that allows you to call any program as if it were a function:

.. code:: python

from sh import ifconfig
print(ifconfig("eth0"))

sh is not a collection of system commands implemented in Python.

sh relies on various Unix system calls and only works on Unix-like operating systems - Linux, macOS, BSDs etc. Specifically, Windows is not supported.

Testing

I've included a Docker test suite in the

docker_test_suit/

cd

$> ./build.sh

This will install ubuntu 18.04 LTS and all supported python versions. Once it's done, stay in that directory and run::

$> ./run.sh

This will mount your local code directory into the container and start the test suite, which will take a long time to run. If you wish to run a single test, you may pass that test to

./run.sh

$> ./run.sh FunctionalTests.test_unicode_arg

To run a single test for a single environment::

$> ./run.sh -e 3.4 FunctionalTests.test_unicode_arg

Coverage

First run all of the tests::

$> SH_TESTS_RUNNING=1 coverage run --source=sh -m unittest

This will aggregate a

.coverage

$> coverage report

Or generate visual html files with::

$> coverage html

Which will create

./htmlcov/index.html
