Small utility that translates a shared screenshot url into a markdown-ready *.png url. Works with dropbox, screencloud, and others.
Project description
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
$ git clone https://github.com/rv816/copysc.git
$ cd copysc
$ python setup.py install
Command Line Utility
Linux
$ 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
$ 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:
Find out the absolute path of the module as follows: C:\>python -c 'import copysc; print(copysc.__path__[0])'
Copy that path and add it to your PATH variable on windows.
Usage:
As python module:
from copysc.copyscreen import convert_clipboard
convert_clipboard()
OR…you can feed it a link directly
from copysc.copyscreen import convert_clipboard
convert_clipboard(link= 'https://www.dropbox.com/s/wg24eyirfaqrbnw/Screenshot%202014-10-17%2018.06.22.png?dl=0')
From the command line:
$ copyscreen
or
$ copyscreen http://screencloud.net/v/zOk6
