I ported this to cywgin python and included a 'bs' for backslash token.

Keep up the great work!

thanks for the port! That's awesome! I don't know if you have the bandwidth, 
but it would be cool if it's possible to get this running on linux/OSX/cygwin 
with the same code. I was able to get a single version that was very stable on 
linux and osx, but i really don't have much experience with cygwin. I was able 
to avoid any one off statements per operating systems, which I think makes it 
much more stable.  It looks like the main changes were shebang and rerun...if 
you can elegantly pull this off, we can incorporate your changes into the main 
version.

thanks,

I really enjoyed your talk at PyCON. Your script was so well-written 
that was easy to port. I think the line with the env problem might
be a peculiarity of my outdated cygwin installation. Other than that, 
there was only a small change to the temporary file path (you had an 
extra '/'). Otherwise, the only addition was the 'bs' for backslash 
variable. I didn't change "rerun", though, except for the temporary 
file path slash issue.

By the way, without cygwin, it is both hopeless and useless to try to 
port this to Windows DOS since there is a dearth of commandline 
utilities there anyway.

The only other thing I was going to try to add was to enhance the 
p.replace() with regular expressions. Finally, and this might be a 
cygwin issue, but blank spaces in history[0] don't seem to be working 
out for me. This makes it hard to use xargs as the last step in the 
pipe chain.

Keep up the great work!

thanks...scheduling was pretty hectic for the talk...with I had another day to 
prepare!  thanks for checking that out. let me investigate the file path. Can 
you see if a more modern cygwin will pick up the env shebang? If so, we can 
roll out a native version that will run on mac, linux, and windows...

cheers,

It looks like the env problem is deeper than I thought. I upgraded to 
the latest version of cygwin and it's still there. I will file a bug 
report with the cygwin developers.

Thanks for sharing all your great work!

thanks for checking that out. please try this beta. you can use "b" or 
"backslash" for split/join operations. also check out the new --quick_output 
flag.

we'll have a special cygwin section for this type of install in the manual 
soon...but first verify this works ok.

thanks,

I doesn't work due to the /usr/bin/env problem and the extra '/' in the 
tmp file. These are the main changes I made in your orignal script, 
besides the 'bs' separator.

Thanks!

sorry about that...I'm working on a single beta to fix all issues at 
once...please check this one out. It has the temp file fix (i'm surprised this 
ran fine on linux and osx actually)...and has a quick output option.  shebang 
should work for you now, and is the only difference now with the other beta.

This looks good. I haven't tested all of the functionality, but 
everything looks okay so far.

new pyp_beta should fix this, but you will have to change the shebang:
