permaculture 0.0.5

Permaculture design toolkit

This is an experimental toolkit to assist in permaculture design.

Usage

To search for the scientific name of a plant by common name:

> permaculture search consoude
- symphytum officinale:
  - comfrey
  - consoude
- symphytum x uplandicum:
  - consoude russe
  - rusian comfrey

To lookup the characteristics of a plant by scientific name:

> permaculture lookup "symphytum officinale"
- animal damage: deer, gophers
  bloom period:
    max: summer
    min: spring
  chemical:
    allantoin: 12
    aluminum: 5
    ascorbic-acid: 112
    ash: 0
    asparagine: 2
...

To show the list of commands:

> permaculture --help
usage: permaculture [-h] {help,ingest,iterate,list,lookup,search,store} ...

positional arguments:
  {help,ingest,iterate,list,lookup,search,store}
                        permaculture command
    help                show configuration help
    iterate             iterate over all scientific names
    list                list available databases
    lookup              lookup characteristics by scientific name
    search              search for the scentific name by common name
    store               store a file for a storage key

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

Configuration

The permaculture command can be configured with options on the command-line or the same options in an INI configuration file: either .permaculture in your current working directory or ~/.permaculture in your home directory. To configure logging:

log-level = debug
log-file = permaculture.log
