easy_install read pip requirements.txt file

No way to feed PIP requirements file into easy_install, so the following snippet do the job:-

import os

f = open("requirements.txt")
reqs = f.read().split("\n")

for req in reqs:
    # ignore comments or pip options
    if req.startswith('--') or req.startswith('#'):
        continue
    # ignore blank lines
    if len(req) > 0:
        os.system("easy_install %s" % req)

Sed: Delete next n lines after match

ALTER TABLE some_table ......
CREATE VIEW user_log_view AS
  SELECT some_column .....
SELECT * FROM some_table ...

cat dump.sql | sed "/CREATE VIEW user_log_view/,+2d" Would delete CREATE VIEW statement definition.
