Pylux

Pylux is a program for creating and managing documentation for stage lighting.

Pylux currently has the capability to generate plaintext documentation from Jinja template files and create 2D plots in SVG although you will need to provide your own fixture vector files.

You can also import data from an Eos ASCII export, including the complete patch, groups, palettes, and cues.

Installation and Dependencies

Pylux is available on PyPI, so after installing Python and pip, you can simply run:

pip3 install pylux

The PyPI package does not include the content repository, which includes fixture templates, symbols and documentation templates. Pylux will search in ~/.pylux for this, so you can just clone the repository there:

git clone https://github.com/jackdpage/pylux-content.git ~/.pylux

Simply run pylux from the terminal to launch the program.
