pfilter

#!/usr/bin/env python
'''Path filter, to be used in pipes to filter out paths.

* Unix test commands (such as -f can be specified as well)
* {} replaces file name

Examples:
    # List only files in current directory
    ls -a | pfilter -f

    # Find files not versioned in svn 
    # (why, oh why, does svn *always* return 0?)
    find . | pfilter 'test -n "`svn info {} 2>&1 | grep Not`"'
