beu

About

The beu package is intended to be an easy way to explore several complementary Python packages.

• There is a script to help you get all the system requirements installed
• The beu module auto-imports several relevant modules as their preferred 2-character (or 3-character) shortcuts for quick interaction
• The beu-ipython command is a shortcut to start an ipython session with the beu module imported before you see the shell prompt
• The commands provided by the other packages are all installed to the same place
• All the advanced features of the packages are made available (since some packages will do more when certain other packages can be imported)

Install

Install system requirements and install beu package to ~/.beu (Debian-based distros and Mac). Also modify one of ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, or ~/.bash_profile.

::

% curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kenjyco/beu/master/install.sh | bash

Source the wrappers.sh file

::

% source ~/.beu/wrappers.sh

Mac Note ^^^^^^^^

VLC related things (vlc-helper package, system dbus, etc) are not installed since VLC cannot be controlled with dbus on mac

Linux Cloud Note ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

VLC related things (vlc-helper package, system dbus, etc) and MOC related things (mocp & mocp-cli packages, system moc) are not installed since you can’t watch videos or listen to audio.

The beu-ipython script is provided (with the b shortcut set in ~/.beu/wrappers.sh)
