head.py +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Recreating the Head command in python 2.6 NOTE: Requires docopt. A handy command line parser that takes Old fashioned Unix help strings as input for a commandline parser www.docopt.org

pip install docopt

head.py works mostly like head takes a default of 10 lines either from a list of files input at the commandline or from stdin

-n allows a user to specify number of lines. -c allows a user to specify a number of bytes.

This script will not take both -n and -c. It will also not take -n or -c without an arguement value.

-v puts a header on the top of each file. -q has not been implemented yet. +++++++++++++ TODO: Error Handling for bad entries. figureout and implement what -q is to do. Comment the code properly.
