Description:

pyprocwatch 0.2.2

py-proc-watch

Library and command line tool for watching process output. This is more or less a simpler version of watch from procps.
The main differences come from defaults:

py-proc-watch always trims long lines so they fit on the screen
py-proc-watch respects color ANSI escape sequences (but strips the rest)
Python or C for the implementation

Design goals
py-proc-watch library and tool should be:

simple
fast for very long output of executed command
easily tested for correct behavior
pure Python to maximize the amount of supported systems
easy to use in other tools

Usage
pywatch command line tool supports only a few command line options to keep it simple:
usage: pywatch.py [-h] [-n INTERVAL] [-p] [-v] command [command ...]

positional arguments:
command command to watch, can be specified as a quoted string or as a list (use -- to separate pywatch and command options)

options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-n INTERVAL, --interval INTERVAL
seconds to wait between command runs, positive floats and zero are accepted
-p, --precise try to run the command precisely at intervals
-v, --debug show debug information

py_proc_watch can be used also as a Python module to provide "watch-like" functionality easily. The library is quite simple, so just read the source and tests.
Development
py-proc-watch uses Python Poetry to manage dependencies, version 1.3.0 or later is required due to lock file format.
Used tools:

isort for keeping imports sane
black for enforcing a consistent code style
ruff for linting
mypy for type checking
pytest for running test
mockito for mocks in unit tests
poethepoet for easily running all of the above

The magic incantation:
poetry run poe check

will run all of the lint and test tools for you. During development running:
poetry run poe format

Will run isort and black to format the source code, ruff and mypy will be executed after code formatting to check for violations.
