What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the complexities and limitations of traditional PowerShell scripting by providing a Pythonic interface, simplifying common tasks, and enhancing error handling and reporting.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Pythonic PowerShell: Access and manipulate PowerShell functionalities with Pythonic syntax and data structures.
• Enhanced Error Handling: Improved error management through Python exceptions and non-zero exit codes.
• Typed JSON Output: Clean, structured JSON output for easier data processing and integration.
• Use Case: If you need to query running services, filter them by name, and print their status to a JSON file without installing additional tools or modules, pwshpy simplifies this task with a straightforward, Pythonic approach.

Quick Start

Use pwshpy get_service --jsonl | jq -c 'select(.status == "Running" and (.name | test("sql"; "i")))' to list all running services containing 'sql' in their name, with each service's details in JSON format, line by line.
