unix command line tools

- echo {"some": "json"} | python -m json.tool pretty prints json on the cmd line

grep -A12 -B15 gives the matching lines and 12after, 15 before
man 2 open lets you inspect level 2 (system) calls like open
htop has a -d option which lets you set the refesh interval (in tenths of seconds). htop -d 5 sets it to two times a second
less -S turns off line wraping which is useful if you have long tabular text (like the output of csvlook)
renameutils allows you to easily change file names with the editor that you are used to
sort has the -h flag which sorts by human readble values (such as the one produced by du -h) which might include KB, MB etc

python

dir() shows all properties/methods of an object
ptpython is a nice command line replacement for ipython
import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace() gives you an interactive debugging session
ctrl + [ or ctrl + ] to indent/unindent in ipython
_ gives you the last evaluted result in (i)Python, __ the second last and so on
You can user python -c to execute python lineline in a shell. Example: echo 'hello cool arguments ' | python -c 'import sys; print sys.stdin.read().split()'
IPython's input mode can be switched to vim or emacas mode. To switch it to vim mode create a config file (ipython profile create) and set c.TerminalInteractiveShell.editing_mode = 'vi' in the ipython_config.py file that is created. Then you can hit escape and move around like you are used to from vim. (reference)1
