Show HN: Pypipe – A Python command-line tool for pipeline processing
Cool!
I was going to ask how this differs in broad strokes from pz, but when I went to get the reference link found that pz hasn't been updated in two years, so that's one big difference.

- Python import statements make it inconvenient for inline use in shell scripts
- Program mentioned on here - can anyone remember it?

Show HN: Prig – like Awk, but uses Go for “scripting”
TIL about pz (kind of like this but using Python) -- that's very cool! https://github.com/CZ-NIC/pz

Easily handle CLI operation via Python instead of regular Bash programs
This seems very useful!
The behaviour of auto-imports https://github.com/CZ-NIC/pz#auto-import seems bit scary:
> Caveat: When accessed first time, the auto-import makes the row reprocessed. It may influence your global variables. Use verbose output to see if something has been auto-imported.
It sounds like this could cause some very subtle bugs. Maybe a strong and clear warning when a line is being reprocessed would help.

Aho – a Git implementation in Awk
Disclaimer: self promotion
If you're looking to get into Awk, and you learn well from a lecture style, I put together a talk for Linux Fest Northwest some years ago and recorded it for Youtube: https://youtu.be/E5aQxIdjT0M

(F18) cis student need help writing an awkward command file for price calculation, professor won't help.
Re awk (which equally has its r/awk), the combination of presentation, exercise and GitHub repo of training data by Benjamin Porter is a nice resource, too.

Easily handle CLI operation via Python instead of regular Bash programs
For people that know Ruby, if you haven't explored Ruby's CLI abilities, you definitely, definitely should. When I was building my (free and open source) awk course[1] I fell in love with awk. When I later found out that Ruby has some of the same features, it changed my life: I

Getting better at Linux with 10 mini-projects
Kind of a shameless plug, but you mentioned wanting to get better at Awk. I had that same desire and created a small course based on what I learned. The course got great feedback.
There is a video presentation, and a set of "challenges" you can use to incrementally get more complex with awk, starting from super simple.
The challenges repo is on github here: https://github.com/FreedomBen/awk-hack-the-planet
If you want to watch the videos, there are links in the github repo but for convenience:
