grexd

A console regular expression editor based on python's prompt-toolkit.

Installation

Releases

grexd can be installed via pypi:

pip install grexd

For nix users, it is also available as a flake.

Repository

We can also clone the github repository and install grexd from it with:

pip install .

We can also install it for the current user only by running instead:

pip install --user .

Development

grexd uses the standard python3 infra. To develop and test the module:

• Clone the repository and go into the directory:

  git clone git@github.com:lpenz/grexd.git
  cd grexd
  

• Use venv to create a local virtual environment with

  python -m venv venv
  

• Activate the environment by running the shell-specific activate script in ./venv/bin/. For [fish], for instance, run:

  source ./venv/bin/activate.fish
  

• Install grexd in "editable mode":

  pip install -e '.[test]'
  

• To run the tests:

  pytest
  

  Or, to run the tests with coverage:

  pytest --cov
  

• Finally, to exit the environment and clean it up:

  deactivate
  rm -rf venv
