Thanks for the tip.
Actually, the command processor example was contrived. I wanted to think
of a somewhat plausible reason to nest loops that would make at least
some sense. The command processor logic seemed appropriate.
I have looked at the commands (plural) module (not the 'command' module -
I couldn't find that one). And, unless I was looking at the wrong one,
it doesn't implement a command processor. It only allows you to run Unix
shell commands and capture their output into strings. It doesn't
implement a command dispatch loop. Even shutil.py only support files
copying and directory removing.
In fact, as long as you brought it up, I've been thinking about writing a
remote command line interface utility to assist me with some
administration on a remote site. Something where commands execute "over
there" but the output and UI are "over here." Kind of like Knowbots, but
*way* more simple.
Seen anything like that?
Thanks.
