ANN: asqc - A Simple SPARQL Query Client

A simple command-line utility for issuing/testing SPARQL queries.

   https://pypi.python.org/pypi/asqc

This is a simple utility designed to be used in Unix-style shell script 
pipelines - queries can be chained, with bindings from a SELECT query 
constraining results in the next, or filtering RDF data through CONSTRUCT 
queries.  There are some usage examples at https://github.com/gklyne/asqc.

I've had this kicking around for a while now (I initially delayed announcing it 
until it was mostly working, then forgot).

I use it mainly for query testing and/or shell scripts, and scratching similar 
itches - more as a developer tool than a polished product.  The heavy lifting of 
SPARQL query processing is handled by rdflib (https://github.com/RDFLib/rdflib) 
and friends.

There are still some rough edges (error reporting isn't great), but it does seem 
to mostly achieve what it says on the box.

Acknowledgement: this tool was developed in part through my work on the 
EU-funded Wf4Ever project (http://www.wf4ever-project.org).

Enjoy!
