"""terminalcommand.py -- A minimal interface to Terminal.app.
|
|
|
|
To run a shell command in a new Terminal.app window:
|
|
|
|
import terminalcommand
|
|
terminalcommand.run("ls -l")
|
|
|
|
No result is returned; it is purely meant as a quick way to run a script
|
|
with a decent input/output window.
