Pluggable Output Processor
Project description
What is This?
=============
_Pluggable Output Processor_ is an engine to wrap any executabe and capture its output through
a pluggable module to colorize it and/or (re)format.
Features
--------
* easy (to Python programmers ;-) to extend
* 256 color terminal support ;-) configuration files in addition to standard named colors
may contain color definitions as `rgb(r,g,b)` or `gray(n)`
* colorizers for `make`, `cmake`, `gcc` out of the box (more to come ;-)
* some modules are not just a stupid colorizers ;-) For example `gcc` can reformat text for
better readability (really helps to understand template errors). Also `cmake` module can reduce
amount of lines printed during test by collapsing test _intro_ message and _result_ into a single one.
Installation
------------
Easy!
$ tar -xzf outproc-X.Y.tar.gz
$ cd outproc-X.Y
$ sudo easy_install .
For Gentoo users there is a [live ebuild][raw-ebuild] in my [repository][my-overlay].
Also (for Gentoo users again ;-) `eselect` module from `contrib/` will be installed by the ebuild.
Users of other distros have to make a symlinks to required modules manually:
$ ln -s /usr/bin/outproc /usr/lib/outproc/bin/<module-name>
and then make sure `/usr/lib/outproc/bin` placed __before__ `/usr/bin` (and anything else) in your
user/system `PATH` environment. For example, to install the `gcc` module do the following:
$ ln -s /usr/bin/outproc /usr/lib/outproc/bin/gcc
Then you may edit `/etc/outproc/gcc.conf` to adjust color settings.
TODO
====
* continue to improve C++ tokenizer (few things can be better)
* unit tests for tokenizer
* test files w/ to cause various error messages from gcc (+ unit test for colorizer somehow)
* continue to improve `cmake` support (+ unit tests)
* <del>turn `mount` output into a human readable look-n-feel</del> DONE
* colorize `df` depending on free space threshold
* colorize `diff` (easy! :-)
* <del>`eselect` module to manage tools under control</del> DONE
* ask module is it want to handle a current command or we can do `execv` instead
* implement `STDIN` reader (pipe mode)
* handle `KeyboardInterrupt` and hide Python crap
* `ctest` module to colorize test results
