As a PC owner, I want an easy way to script things.
As a script writer I want an easy way to find if a program is available on my system.
There are many public domain code, so I just need to find one that is easy to remember.
Ideally, I want to use Python or other language out of the box:
if not program.exists('pass'):
program.propose('pass') # uses DB or map of package-to-program for different OSes
if not program.exists('pass'):
sys.exit('no `pass` program found, can't continue')
I need to review difference implementation of program.exists() function and get the best. Public domain is the best, but also preserve authorship based on blames and public info.
