shellloggersandialabs 1.0.4

NOTICE: After using this package for a few years, we realized we'd
attempted to do too many things at once with it. It still provides
tremendous functionality for a wide variety of use cases, but for particular
corner cases, it became apparent that design decisions made early on were
hampering forward progress, and we wouldn't recommend doing things the same
way today. Certain aspects of its functionality have inspired more focused
packages (reverse-argparse,
staged-script), and we hope to do the same with more
functionality in the future. For the time being, though, don't expect much
development and maintenance here. That said, if you use shell-logger and
are eager to contribute to its longevity, let us know.

shell-logger
The shell-logger Python package allows you to interact with the shell, while
logging various metadata, statistics, and trace information. Any time you're
tempted to write your own wrapper around things like subprocess.Popen() or
subprocess.run(), consider using shell_logger.ShellLogger.log() instead.
If you're familiar with the Unix script command, this is similar in
principle, but with substantially more functionality. If you're familiar with
Python's logging module, the motivation is similar, but this intends
to capture what's happening in the shell rather than in Python itself.
Installation
To get up and running with shell-logger, simply:
python3 -m pip install shell-logger-sandialabs

Usage
Once the package is installed, you can simply
from shell_logger import ShellLogger
sl = ShellLogger("Title of Log File")
sl.log("Execute my first command in the shell.", "echo 'Hello World'")
sl.finalize()

For more detailed usage and API information, please see
our documentation.
