Documentation

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)

See the following docs:

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.

Usage

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

% b --help
