I have a folder that will have a file name based on the python version being used. 

PyICU-1.9.5-cp27-cp27m-macosx_10_6_x86_64.whl
PyICU-1.9.5-cp35-cp35m-macosx_10_6_x86_64.whl

I want to use bash to detect the 35 or 27, and then execute a pip install <filename>. I have GitHub Gist that has this hard coded, but instead of Hard coding the filename, I would like to detect the version, pick the filename with that version, and use it in a new command.

I would like to change the pip install command based on the file name. I found some code to detect the python version; what's the next piece?

#from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6141581/detect-python-version-in-shell-script
python -c 'import sys; print(sys.version_info[:])'

How do I detect the numbers after cp, so that I can construct this: detected 34, so: pip installPyICU-1.9.5-cp34-cp34-macosx_10_6_x86_64.whl

#!/bin/bash
#Assuming $ver holds the version string...
ver=$(echo "$ver" | awk -F - '{print $3}' | sed 's/^..//')

For a more detailed explanation;

awk -F - '{print $3}' uses - as the field separator and returns the third field. The third field in this example is returned as cp34.

sed 's/^..//' removes the first two characters, and returns the rest, in this case 34.

Since you don't even need to extract the version from the filename, but just execute the file that is in the folder, then you can do:

cd dist/ &&
filename=$(ls|grep 'PyICU-')
pip install $filename

python -c 'import sys; print(sys.version_info[:])'

This yields e. g. (2, 7, 3, 'final', 0), while what you need for the file name would be just 27, so we have to modify the above code a little:

python -c 'import sys; print("%s%s"%sys.version_info[:2])'

what's the next piece?

Now we can set a variable to the output of the above and use it in the file name:

ver=`python -c 'import sys; print("%s%s"%sys.version_info[:2])'`
pip installPyICU-1.9.5-cp${ver}-cp${ver}-macosx_10_6_x86_64.whl
