#43I attempted to install on Windows - it doesn't work due to the lack of os.geteuid(), which is called in the setup.py file to check for root. With a little bit of finagling I could get around that and make it install, but not work due to undefined SIGPIPE in the signal module. It makes sense that this could be UNIX only, but that wasn't stated anywhere on the webpage. Perhaps that should be mentioned somewhere.
Yea, sorry about that. I had an initiative to make a windows version, wpy, a little after launch, but couldn't really get any windows developers interested in making it happen. From my time working on windows, I know this tool would be even more valuable there than on unix. I'll try to find a place to indicate this doesn't work. Perhaps there's a good way to check if the system is windows in the setup.py and warn users.

#44Honest question. Why would I want to use this? I am already quite happy with awk,sed,grep, etc.

#45Would've been more useful with a language that doesn't limit one-liners (e.g. you can't have "for x in [1,2,3]: dothing1(x); dothing2(x)").
