The sarge package provides a wrapper for subprocess which provides command pipeline functionality.

This package leverages subprocess to provide easy-to-use cross-platform command pipelines with a Posix flavour: you can have chains of commands using ;, &, pipes using | and |&, and redirection.

The sarge package requires Python 2.6 or greater, and can be installed with the standard Python installation procedure:

python setup.py install

There is a set of unit tests which you can invoke with:

python setup.py test

before running the installation.
