ghlinguist 0.9.0

simple command-line parser of GitHub Linguist Ruby program.

linguist-python

Simple command-line wrapper of Ruby-based Github Linguist

Prereqs

Since we are merely parsing the original Linguist command-line output, we need to install Linguist as usual. Assuming Linux:

1. setup RubyGems:

   apt install ruby-dev libssl-dev libicu-dev zlib1g-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
   
   gem update --system
   

2. be sure Gems are installed to home directory, NOT system (no sudo) by adding to ~/.bashrc:

   # Install Ruby Gems to ~/gems
   export GEM_HOME=$HOME/gems
   export PATH=$HOME/gems/bin:$PATH
   

3. install Github Linguist:

   gem install github-linguist
   

Install

pip install -e .

Usage

From Terminal:

ghlinguist

You can also import as a Python module:

import ghlinguist as ghl

langs = ghl.linguist('~/mypath')

Notes

ghLinguist parses text output from GitHub Linguist, which is a Ruby program.
