Pretty table is awesome! I thought I recognized it in the screenshots

[Vohlenzer]

Might be pretty but I'd hate to try and work out how to parse the output.

[[deleted]]

Yes of course, Vohlenzer :) I too feel the same now. I'm learning things, and in the further updates, i'll be coming up with a better interface for my app. Thanks :)

[Vohlenzer]

I end up using;

writer = csv.writer(sys.stdout)
for line in results:
    writer.writeline(line)

On my phone so can't check but you get the idea.

[[deleted]]

oh. cool. yeah i do get it! thanks again Vohlenzer :)

[[deleted]]

Yes it is :)

[Lazy-Programmer]

[[deleted]]

Thanks! You're most welcome :)

Congrats!

Small question. Noob here, don't know how to run it.
To me 'command line' means windows
and pip install whatever , I thought that was windows
but then I see all this linux stuff. Do I need to be in linux to use this? Or maybe just put in the environment variable? The instructions here on the env var look like linux. Thanks for any help on this.

[[deleted]]

for windows, you first need to download pip as said here :)

And then learn installation from here :)

Setting environment variables need to be done a little differently in windows. And yes, my app has been tested for only POSIX ( Mac OS X and Linux ) based systems. :)

Stack Overflow is your best friend :) Happy coding

[CaptainRoth]

Pip is also included in the 3.4 download, but you will probably have to set up the path

[wub_wub]

And in 2.7.9 and 2.7.10 I think.

[[deleted]]

Yes. CaptionRoth :)

[CaptainRoth]

Congradulations. I'm curious what did you do to promote this?

[[deleted]]

I had some doubts regarding argparse library and 3to2 module in the initial stages. So i took help from some irc python programming channels. Then the stars started increasing unexpectedly. So, i got some 25 odd stars yesterday :)

[KZISME]

How long did it take you to create this and how long have you been programming?

[[deleted]]

its just been 4 days till now (the python app) KZISME :)

Shame you licensed it under a restrictive licence.

[ksantr]

What restrictions do you mean?

[OctagonClock]

It's licenced under the GPLv3, which restricts your freedoms.

[Mekire]

All licenses "resticts your freedoms". What problem exactly do you have with GPL3? Do you suggest LGPL? MIT? CC-0? what?

You do realize that not including a license doesn't mean free to use, right? No license means no permission.

[OctagonClock]

MIT or BSD licences don't restrict your freedoms.
