NAME

OBJX - objects

INSTALL

$ pipx install objx

SYNOPSIS

objx <cmd> [key=val]
objx <cmd> [key==val]
objx [-a] [-c] [-d] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

OBJX has all the python3 code to program a unix cli program, such as
disk perisistence for configuration files, event handler to
handle the client/server connection, code to introspect modules
for commands, deferred exception handling to not crash on an
error, a parser to parse commandline options and values, etc.

OBJX provides an objx namespace that allows for easy json save//load
to/from disk of objects. It provides an "clean namespace" Object class
that only has dunder methods, so the namespace is not cluttered with
method names. This makes storing and reading to/from json possible.

OBJX provides a demo bot, it can connect to IRC, fetch and display RSS
feeds, take todo notes, keep a shopping list and log text. You can also
copy/paste the service file and run it under systemd for 24/7 presence
in a IRC channel.
