Introducing the Socket Python SDK
The initial version of the Socket Python SDK is now on PyPI, enabling developers to more easily interact with the Socket REST API in Python projects.
Moncode is a small CLI tool which takes source code from the clipboard, formats it using the MongoDB presentation color-scheme and code font, and then puts the result back on the clipboard.
The result looks a bit like this:
I recommend you use pipx to install moncode as a command-line tool. If you have pipx you can install it like this:
pipx install moncode
If you don't want to install pipx, you can install it with pip, but it's not really recommended:
# This will install moncode into your system python:
pip install moncode
Moncode is fully documented.
The command you'll probably use most is format
, like this:
This is the way I use it:
moncode format -l python
in a terminal window.
Now the Python code in my clipboard has been repaced by syntax-highlighted Python code.There are a bunch of other ways to use the tool, taking input from stdin or a file on disk, and sending the results to stdout or a file on disk. The command options are fully documented:
# Copy code from the clipboard, format it as RTF and then copy the result to the clipboard.
moncode format
# Specify the language if the guess is wrong:
moncode format --language ruby
# Read code from stdin and copy result to clipboard:
cat sample_inputs/sample.js | moncode format
# Read from sample.py and write to output.rtf:
moncode format -i sample.py -o output.rtf
# Read from the clipboard, and write to stdout:
moncode format -o -
# Format the code from the clipboard as HTML and write to output.html
moncode format -o output.html -f html
Options:
-l, --language TEXT The programming language to be formatted. If not
supplied, this will be guessed from the file name
or content. It's better to supply it if you can.
Run `moncode languages` to see a list of supported
input languages.
-i, --input FILENAME The path to a code file to be formatted. If not
supplied, either code will be read from stdin, or
else copied from the clipboard.
-o, --output FILENAME The path to write output to.
-f, --format [html|rtf] The output format. Defaults to 'rtf' (which is good
for copy-pasting).
-q, --quiet Run quietly.
-v, --verbose Run loudly.
--help Show this message and exit.
When running moncode format
, I recommend you pass the -l
flag,
specifying the programming language of the input code.
If you don't, moncode will guess the language, and likely get it wrong.
What languages are supported?
Glad you asked...
To get a list of all the supported input languages, run moncode languages
.
The result will look something like this...

Any of these values are supported by the -l
option to moncode format
Run the following to install the project (and dev dependencies) into your active virtualenv:
pip install -e .[dev]
Run tests with:
make test
Run tests under different versions of Python with:
tox

Floating dependency ranges in npm can introduce instability and security risks into your project by allowing unverified or incompatible versions to be installed automatically, leading to unpredictable behavior and potential conflicts.
