I'm using sh
to run git commands inside a Python script.
In [1]: from sh import git
In [2]: s = git("log", "-1", pretty="format:%h %s")
In [3]: print s
4f14a66 basic debug page
This seems to work as expected. However, using this in a Django template gives [?1h= 4f14a66 basic debug page[m [K[?1l>
. I tried to see what characters were in this string using repr()
, to no avail:
In [4]: print repr(s)
4f14a66 basic debug page
It turns out commands in sh
return a RunningCommand
that has a .stdout
attribute:
In [5]: type(s)
Out[5]: sh.RunningCommand
In [7]: s.stdout
Out[7]: '\x1b[?1h\x1b=\r4f14a66 basic debug page\x1b[m\r\n\r\x1b[K\x1b[?1l\x1b>'
How do I get "4f14a66 basic debug page"
i.e. the string without the escapes? Running the command from Bash is fine:
$ git log -1 --pretty="format:%h %s"
4f14a66 basic debug page
