I'm super lazy and want to be able to type, e.g., "gowder pdf test" and have it convert a markdown file to pdf without having to type flags etc. ditto "gowder dropbox test.txt"

gowder.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
import os
mode = sys.argv[1]
command = sys.argv[2]
def markdown_to_pdf(root_filename):
    md_filename = root_filename+".md"
    pdf_filename = root_filename+".pdf"
    print("converting {0} to {1}".format(md_filename, pdf_filename))
    return "pandoc -o {0} {1}".format(pdf_filename, md_filename)

def upload_to_dropbox(filename):
    path = "cli_uploads/{0}".format(filename)
    print("uploading to {0}".format(path))
    return "dbxcli put {0} {1}".format(filename, path)

if mode == "pdf":
    os.system(markdown_to_pdf(command))

if mode == "dropbox":
    os.system(upload_to_dropbox(command))
