Title: Python: Consulting PEPs from command line, while being offline
One day I wished I could read PEPs in the tube on my laptop... so I
searched for a convenient way to do so, and I didn't found ... So I
wrote a very simple shell script you can found here :
https://github.com/julienpalard/pep I'm currently packaging it for
Debian and trying to put it on PyPI, (help is welcome :-) I don't have
so much time) but you can make it work just by downloading the script
here : https://github.com/JulienPalard/pep/raw/master/pep The script is
very simple to use, first you can change a bit its configuration,
typically change the LOCAL\_PEP\_PATH to something writeable for a use
to don't have to be root to update you PEPs (As running an unknown
script as root is a bit scary ) Then you should run \`./pep upgrade with
progress\` to download PEPs to you LOCAL\_PEP\_PATH, and then just do a
'./pep 8' to read the PEP 8 ! Others features include searching using
regex, you can read about it here reading the README the -h or the
manpage.
Hope you'll enjoy it!
