I was trying to see if I could get pawk working. I installed it with pip install python-awk. However I can't figure out how to run it, probably under Stash.

Awk is a very useful tool and I was hoping I could get it working in Pythonista.

So what happens when you type pawk into the StaSH commandline?

This is what my console looks like:

[~/Documents]$ pawk
stash: pawk: command not found

[~/Documents]$ cd site-packages-2
[site-packages-2]$ cd pawk
[pawk]$ pawk
import: command not found
from: command not found
if: command not found
fix_broken_pipe(): command not found
pawk.pawk(): command not found

pawk is meant to be run from the command line.

Looks like maybe you need to rm pawk (in the pawk folder). I think that is being in interpreted as shell instead of python. You may need to do pawk.py or ./pawk.py or python pawk.py (I forget how much smarts is in stash)

Try editing the file pawk/pawk and add a "3" to the end of the first line:
* #!/usr/bin/env python --> #!/usr/bin/env python3

For safety's sake do the same thing to the file pawk/pawk.py.

stash does not support the #! stuff, hence why it is saying import command not found. Nor will it be able to change the interpreter version!

I tried running pawk.py in Stash in various ways but nothing produces an output (interestingly, no errors either).

However, I installed pawk in site-packages-2 using Stash while running Python v2.7. When I tried doing the install running v3.6, I got:

[~/Documents]$ pip install python-awk
: This package should not be accessible on Python 3 Either you are trying to run from the python-future src folder or your installation of python-future is corrupted.

FWIW a mini-version of awk.

                else:
                    S = SS.split()
                NF = len(S)

                if re.search('ff', SS) or (S[1] == '5') :
                    count += 1
                    print("{}:{}:".format(FILENAME, NR), SS.rstrip())
                # ACTION code block ends
            fp.close()
        # END code block starts

@ihf https://github.com/alecthomas/pawk/blob/master/setup.py#L10-L12 is clear that Python 2 is no longer supported.
