Object Shell (osh) is a tool that integrates the processing of structured data, database access, files, processes, and remote access to a cluster of nodes. These capabilities are made available through a command-line interface (CLI) and a Python application programming interface (API). Osh processes streams of Python objects using simple commands. Complex data processing is achieved by command sequences in which the output from one command is passed to the input of the next. This is similar to composing Unix commands using pipes, but not limited to passing strings.
