pyutok 1.2.1

Description:

pyutok 1.2.1

Inspired by a tool I can not find anymore on the internet: utok 1.5. I
use it to clean up path settings in large shell script configuration
setups.
utok has the following options:

usage:
utok [-h] [–delimiter DELIMITER] [–delete-list DELETE_LIST] [–version] tokens [tokens …]

positional arguments:
tokens

options:

-h, --help
show this help message and exit

--delimiter DELIMITER, -s DELIMITER
Allows one to change the delimiter. If you use csh you might want to set your path with something like: set path = (utok -s /usr/local/bin $path) (default: :)

--delete-list DELETE_LIST, -d DELETE_LIST
Allows one to remove tokens from a list, to remove /usr/sbin and . from a path in Bourne Shell one might use: PATH=`utok $PATH -d .:/usr/sbin` (default: None)

--version, -V
show program’s version number and exit

Availability
The latest version should be available at my GitLab repository, the package
is avaliable at pypi via pip install pyutok.


Description
utok, Unique TOKens, takes a list of arguments with delimiters and
reject all duplicate entries. Here is a example using MANPATH:
$ echo $MANPATH
/usr/man:/usr/local/man
$ MANPATH=`utok /home/local/man /usr/local/man $MANPATH /usr/openwin/man`
$ export MANPATH
$ echo $MANPATH
/home/local/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/man:/usr/openwin/man
Even though /usr/local/man was included a second time it is only
in the MANPATH once, though it is now before the /usr/man
entry instead of after it.
This version adds the -d option to remove tokens. To remove .
from the PATH one would do the following:
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:.:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
$ PATH=`utok -d .: $PATH`
$ echo PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
$ export PATH


Requested Features

Have a way to to push an element further back in the path. A work
around of this would be be something like:
$ utok `utok a:b:c:d -d b` b
which returns: a:c:d:b

Have a way to include multiple -s options.
