copysc 0.2.6

Small utility that translates a shared screenshot url into a markdown-ready *.png url. Works with dropbox, screencloud, and others.

Convert "Screenshot-sharing" utility links to markdown-ready \*.png files I'm sure you are also annoyed that screenshot-sharing utilities like Screencloud and Dropbox only copy a link to their screenshot viewing page, not to the ``.png`` file itself.
==========================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================

So, if you have a python window open, use this module to quickly
``convert_clipboard()`` to a downloadable link.

In the backgound, this simply accesses the page linked by the
screenshot-sharing utility using ``requests``, parses it with
BeautifulSoup, finds the first link that ends in png using regex, and
copies that to the clipboard using pyperclip.

Installation
------------

Python Module
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

``pip install copysc``

or

.. code:: bash

$ git clone https://github.com/rv816/copysc.git
$ cd copysc
$ python setup.py install

Command Line Utility
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

*Linux*
'''''''

.. code:: bash

$ export copyscpath=$(python -c 'import copysc; print(copysc.__path__[0])')
$ echo export PATH=$PATH:$copyscpath >> ~/.bashrc
$ sudo chmod 755 $copyscpath/copyscreen.py

You may also need to install a clipboard drivers to enable pyperclip to
interact with your X clipboard.

::

$ sudo apt-get install xclip
$ sudo apt-get install xsel

*Mac*
'''''

.. code:: bash

$ export copyscpath=$(python -c 'import copysc; print(copysc.__path__[0])')
$ echo export PATH=$PATH:$copyscpath >> ~/.bash_profile
$ sudo chmod 755 $copyscpath/copyscreen.py

*Windows*
'''''''''

Install Linux or buy a Mac and see above.

*I'm sorry. That was a bit rude. I'm sure it's possible, but I don't
have the faintest idea how Windows works* *My hunch is as follows:*

1. Find out the absolute path of the module as follows:
``C:\>python -c 'import copysc; print(copysc.__path__[0])'``

2. Copy that path and add it to your PATH variable on windows.
