usage: clipt.py [-h] {read,write,list,delete} [key] [value]

Save and retrieve text snippets from the command line. I was inspired by Boom and want to learn Python and Thrift.

Uses

• fun
• helping out with deploys (store shared text snippets, host names, commands)
• ???

Requirements

• Python 3 (along with 2to3)
• Nose (and coverage plugin) to run unittests and code coverage

Notes

• The local storage writer uses sqlite
• Thrift interface for remote storage (not implemented)
• Thrift doesn't support Python 3 so 2to3 is required (Makefile takes care of this)

Configuration

• Standard ini-file configuration, ~/.clipt/config
• [main] section:
  • 'storage' => Which storage engine to use : {local, remote}
• [local] section:
  • 'database' => Location of sqlite database : defaults to ~/.clipt/data

TODO

• Remote storage implementation
• Local sqllite implementation
• Command syntax
• Tab completion
