pospell

pospell is a spellcheckers for po files containing reStructuredText.

Pospell is part of poutils!

Poutils (.po utils) is a metapackage to easily install useful Python tools to use with po files and pospell is a part of it! Go check out Poutils to discover the other tools!

Examples

By giving files to pospell:

$ pospell --language fr about.po
about.po:47:Jr.
about.po:55:reStructuredText
about.po:55:Docutils
about.po:63:Fredrik
about.po:63:Lundh
about.po:75:language
about.po:75:librarie

By using a bash expansion (note that we do not put quotes around *.po to let bash do its expansion):

$ pospell --language fr *.po
…

By using a glob pattern (note that we do put quotes around **/*.po to keep your shell from trying to expand it, we'll let Python do the expansion:

$ pospell --language fr --glob '**/*.po'
…

Usage
