Started Python Work

[mitchogaard]

I started on some Python code in my fork. Nothing fascinating, though. I set up a stub for a possible helper class with functions for parsing output from a git subprocess, input from the command line (the gum stage, gum switch, etc commands), and output from gum to the user. I'm not sure what we would use the input parsing function for unless we make it a wrapper for the optparse utilities in Python. Anyways, I thought I'd post a start.

Mitch. You are awesome.

I have a few other folks who are working on bash and alias versions of the same code. This weekend I am going to test them all and see which ones: stay out of the way of regular git and are the most cross platform.

By early next week we will know if this needs to be python based or bash based. Thank you again for your contribution.

How about having this repo as a "meta" project, only containing the concept/design and links to implementations? That would be huge creativity booster.

[saintsjd]

All for it. I will post any links to implementations while I am working on one myself.

I just released some git aliases in bash script. I want to see how far we can get in bash before going to python.

It could be soon. Depends upon how much bash wizardry we all can pull off.
