Flask Shell2HTTP

Overview:

Flask-Shell2HTTP is a minimalist Flask extension designed to serve as a RESTful/HTTP wrapper for Python's subprocess API. It allows users to convert any command-line tool into a REST API service, execute pre-defined shell commands asynchronously and securely via Flask's endpoints with dynamic arguments, file upload, and callback function capabilities. This extension is primarily intended for executing long-running shell commands/scripts in the background from an HTTP request and getting the result at a later time.

Features:

• RESTful/HTTP Wrapper: Converts command-line tools into REST API services.
• Asynchronous Execution: Executes shell commands asynchronously via Flask endpoints.
• Dynamic Arguments: Allows passing dynamic arguments to commands.
• File Upload Support: Can process multiple uploaded files in one command.
• Callback Function Capabilities: Define callback functions/listen for process completion.
• View Decorators: Apply View Decorators to exposed endpoints.
