# shellescape
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
The shellescape Python module defines the `shellescape.quote()` function that returns a shell-escaped version of a Python string. This is a backport of the `shlex.quote()` function from Python 3.8 that makes it accessible to users of Python 3 versions < 3.3 and all Python 2.x versions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### quote(s)
|
|
|
|
*From the Python documentation*:
|
|
|
|
Return a shell-escaped version of the string s. The returned value is a string that can safely be used as one token in a shell command line, for cases where you cannot use a list.
|
|
|
|
This idiom would be unsafe:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
>>> filename = 'somefile; rm -rf ~'
|
|
>>> command = 'ls -l {}'.format(filename)
|
|
>>> print(command) # executed by a shell: boom!
|
|
ls -l somefile; rm -rf ~
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`quote()` lets you plug the security hole:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
>>> command = 'ls -l {}'.format(quote(filename))
|
|
>>> print(command)
|
|
ls -l 'somefile; rm -rf ~'
|
|
>>> remote_command = 'ssh home {}'.format(quote(command))
|
|
>>> print(remote_command)
|
|
ssh home 'ls -l '"'"'somefile; rm -rf ~'"'"''
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The quoting is compatible with UNIX shells and with `shlex.split()`:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
>>> remote_command = split(remote_command)
|
|
>>> remote_command
|
|
['ssh', 'home', "ls -l 'somefile; rm -rf ~'"]
|
|
>>> command = split(remote_command[-1])
|
|
>>> command
|
|
['ls', '-l', 'somefile; rm -rf ~']
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Include `shellescape` in your project setup.py file `install_requires` dependency definition list:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
setup(
|
|
...
|
|
install_requires=['shellescape'],
|
|
...
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then import the `quote` function into your module(s) and use it as needed:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
#!/usr/bin/env python
|
|
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
|
|
|
|
from shellescape import quote
|
|
|
|
filename = "somefile; rm -rf ~"
|
|
escaped_shell_command = 'ls -l {}'.format(quote(filename))
|
|
```
