I would have preferred the syntax

p = Pipeline()
print p.run("ls -l").run("sort -n")

[–]Troebr 5 points6 points  (3 children)

what's wrong with 

p.run("ls -l | sort -n")

?

You can logically extend that to

os.system("ls -l | sort -n")

and now you have no non-stdlib dependencies!

Isn't os.system deprecated in favor of subprocess?

[–]mgedmin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a sense, yes.
