beu
Advanced tools
The beu package is intended to be an easy way to explore several
complementary Python packages.
beu module auto-imports several relevant modules as their
preferred 2-character (or 3-character) shortcuts for quick
interactionbeu-ipython command is a shortcut to start an ipython
session with the beu module imported before you see the shell
promptSee the following docs:
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)
