For example, the !! syntax for running the previous command is now usable.Note that these features are implemented as precommand events and these additions do not affect the xonsh language when run as script.

distributed¶

Website:	http://xon.sh
Package:	xonsh website, BSD 3-clause

The distributed parallel computing library hooks for xonsh. Importantly this provides a substitute ‘dworker’ command which enables distributed workers to have access to xonsh builtins.

Furthermore, this xontrib adds a ‘DSubmitter’ context manager for executing a block remotely. Moreover, this also adds a convenience function ‘dsubmit()’ for creating DSubmitter and Executor instances at the same time. Thus users may submit distributed jobs with:

with dsubmit('127.0.0.1:8786', rtn='x') as dsub:
    x = $(echo I am elsewhere)

res = dsub.future.result()
print(res)

This is useful for long running or non-blocking jobs.

This xontrib is preinstalled with xonsh.

Usage:

Run the following command to enable (or add it to your .xonshrc file to enable on startup.)

xontrib load distributed

free_cwd¶

Website:	http://xon.sh
Package:	xonsh website, BSD 3-clause

Windows only xontrib, to release the lock on the current directory whenever the prompt is shown. Enabling this will allow the other programs or Windows Explorer to delete or rename the current or parent directories.
