Python

# Example of using a Python script as a Nushell plugin
#
# The example uses JSON encoding but it should be a similar process using
# msgpack to move data between Nushell and the plugin. The only difference
# would be that you need to use msgpack relative lib(like msgpack) to
# decode and encode information that is read and written to stdin and stdout
#
# To register the plugin use:
# register <path-to-py-file>
#
# Be carefull with the spans. Miette will crash if a span is outside the
# size of the contents vector. For this example we are using 0 and 1, which will
# point to the beginning of the contents vector. We strongly suggest using the span
# found in the plugin call head
#
# The plugin will be run using the active Python implementation. If you are in
# a Python environment, that is the Python version that is used
#
# Note: To keep the plugin simple and without dependencies, the dictionaries that
# represent the data transferred between Nushell and the plugin are kept as
# native Python dictionaries. The encoding and decoding process could be improved
# by using libraries like pydantic and marshmallow
#
# This plugin uses python3
# Note: To debug plugins write to stderr using sys.stderr.write
