Hi!
Love having the power of power of python with the convenience of awk, thanks for the great work!
I did miss the ability of awk to match against specific columns, so I altered pawk.py to enable this:
pawk 'f[0] ~ /<pattern>/ <dosomething>'
now matches the pattern against the first column
I also added an option -R to read a file instead of reading from stdin (or overwriting the file if using -I) - apart from being used on its own it is also a good "preview" of changes before running with -I
I also updated the tests and added a test for parsing commands with columns.
Feel free to include my changes in your project (or if you prefer you can make a feature branch and add me with write access to that branch and I'll serve you a finished PR-merge request)
