colorsnip 0.1.3

"Colorize snippets and copy to rich text clipboard"

ColorSnip

Command line tool: Copies the content of the given file (or stdin) to the clipboard with syntax coloring, so it can be pasted into a format-retaining software.

Installation

Compatible with:

• MacOS via richxerox
• Linux and Windows (untested) via klemboard

$ pip install colorsnip

Usage:

$ colorsnip [filename|-]

Use case

Pasting formatted code for a presentation in Keynote or the like.

If you want to access the HTML/RTF content directly, use pygments and the CLI tool pygmentize that it provides.

Caveats

• richxerox dependency seems to install half of PyPI
• Untested on Linux and Windows
• Linux and Windows get the HTML rich text format only, while MacOS get HTML and RTF.
