Concern

Control pym2149 (via Lurlene) or FoxDot using Vim.

Install

These are generic installation instructions.

To use, disposably

Install the current release from PyPI to a virtual environment:

python3 -m venv venvname
venvname/bin/pip install -U pip
venvname/bin/pip install Concern
. venvname/bin/activate

You will also need one of the following backends.

FoxDot backend

# Simply install, and Concern will use it:
venvname/bin/pip install FoxDot

pym2149 backend

# Install as usual:
venvname/bin/pip install pym2149

# Tell Concern to use it instead of foxdot:
echo Concern consumerName = pym2149 | tee -a ~/.settings.arid

To use, permanently

# Tested on Linux and Mac:
pip3 install --break-system-packages --user Concern

To add a backend, substitute pip3 install --user for venvname/bin/pip install above. See ~/.local/bin for executables.

To develop

First install venvpool to get the motivate command:

pip3 install --break-system-packages --user venvpool

Get codebase and install executables:

git clone [e-mail]:combatopera/Concern.git
motivate Concern

Requirements will be satisfied just in time, using sibling projects with matching .egg-info if any.

Commands

Concern

Vim-based live coding environment.

Usage

FoxDot

# Any arguments are passed to vim, here we discover the FoxDot demo directory:
Concern "$(venvname/bin/python -c 'from pkg_resources import resource_filename; print(resource_filename("FoxDot", "demo"))' | tail -1)"

• FoxDot is running in the right hand third of the screen
• Send code to FoxDot by typing backslash followed by ]
  • This will send the smallest top-level suite under the cursor
  • The backslash is actually your Vim leader key
• Use visual mode to send multiple top-level suites at once
• Use backslash enter instead of backslash ] to send from cursor to the end of the file
• Use backslash q to quit all of Vim, FoxDot and GNU Screen

pym2149

# Download some files to play with:
git clone [e-mail]:combatopera/pym2149.git

# Load a non-trivial tune written in the Lurlene live coding language:
Concern 'pym2149/contrib/Lemmings 2 Tune 6.py'

• Once pym2149 has initialised, type backslash enter at the top of the file to send the whole program
