:summary:
|
|
|
|
This post describes how to write a polyglot -- in this case a script
|
|
which runs as valid Bash or Python, to search for available Python
|
|
interpreters.
|
|
|
|
The script initially runs as Bash but upon finding a first match, the
|
|
script will call itself again this time using the expected Python
|
|
interpreter in interactive mode!
|
|
|
|
And now, for the polyglot code:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
# reinvoke this script with bpython -i, ipython -i, or python -i
|
|
# reference: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/66242
|
|
''':'
|
|
if type bpython >/dev/null 2>/dev/null; then
|
|
exec bpython -i "$0" "$@"
|
|
elif type ipython >/dev/null 2>/dev/null; then
|
|
exec ipython -i "$0" "$@"
|
|
else
|
|
exec python -i "$0" "$@"
|
|
fi
|
|
'''
|
|
from helpers import (
|
|
base_parser,
|
|
get_hvpc_from_args,
|
|
)
|
|
parser = base_parser('Interactive Python interpreter & connection to hvpc')
|
|
args = parser.parse_args()
|
|
hvpc = get_hvpc_from_args(args)
|
|
print('\nYou now have access to the hvpc object, for example: hvpc.roles\n')
|
|
|
|
In this case you can see that we setup the interactive interpreter's
|
|
environment to create an hvpc (Husky VPC) object for exploration.
|
|
|
|
If you want a pure python version that doesn't use a bash/python
|

polygot, checkout this code I wrote:
