from sh import ifconfig
print ifconfig("eth0")sh is not a collection of system commands implemented in Python.
$> pip install sh
Check out the gh-pages branch and follow the README.rst there.
First install the development requirements:
$> pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
The run the tests for all Python versions on your system:
$> python sh.py test
To run a single test for all environments:
$> python sh.py test FunctionalTests.test_unicode_arg
To run a single test for a single environment:
$> python sh.py test -e 3.4 FunctionalTests.test_unicode_arg
First run all of the tests:
$> python sh.py test
This will aggregate a .coverage. You may then visualize the report with:
$> coverage report
Or generate visual html files with:
$> coverage html
Which will create ./htmlcov/index.html that you may open in a web browser.
