We can. The point is that Windows users can't compile for arm. They depend on the Dev to to it. That will take some time and some won't do it at all.

Thanks. Bash should just be avoided except trivial uses. It has an impressive collection of footguns. I've written a lot of bash, even used it for CGI scripts to create web tools, but honestly it is time to move on. Ansible and Python cover most of the bash use cases.

Could you elaborate on the weird behaviour introduced by pipefail?

This is a docker/bash question, not a python question. Also reading the error message explains the problem.

Maybe pygit2 is indeed the way to go. When I looked into it a while back it looked very low level like it only implemented the git plumbing. But maybe I looked at the wrong part of the docs, because it doesn't look too bad.

You'd still only get strings as returns. No objects modeling git concepts.

 

I happen to write a lot of python code dealing with git repositories. Currently I am calling the git command line tool from python and interpret the output.

This solution really doesn't scale well. Can you recommend a python library that wraps git functionality?

I have found three:

  • GitPython: Seems to work well, but it is in maintenance mode, unlikely to be improved. It also does not have any type hints making working with it annoying.
  • pygit2: Seems well supported and has type hints. But it also seems very low level and pretty tedious to use.
  • dulwich: Looks very promising feature wise but I'm unsure how well it is supported. It seems like an ambitious project being largely done by just one person.

Windows for until 8 => various Ubuntu Flavours for a while => Manjaro for a couple Weeks maybe => Arch for 5+ Yeats => fedora since maybe 2 months

I've seen these mockups for a steam controller that is essentially a steam deck without a screen multiple times now and it looks like absolute dogshit. This would be far from "the perfect controller".
