:rocket: Running

Then copy the default configuration as a base to work off

piqueserver --copy-config

A-a-and lift off!

piqueserver

Custom config location

If you wish to use a different location to ~/.config/piqueserver/ for config files, specify a directory with the -d flag:

piqueserver --copy-config -d custom_dir
piqueserver -d custom_dir

:speech_balloon: FAQ

What’s the purpose?

The purpose of this repo is to be a continuation of PySnip.

What if PySnip development returns?

Then they would merge our changes and development would be continued there, I guess. The important thing is to keep AoS servers alive.

Why should I use piqueserver instead of PySnip/PySpades?

• Multi config installation

• Docker support

• Bug fixes

• Improvements

• Better anti-hacking

• New scripts

What about 0.76 support

Working with multiple versions is a pain. 0.76 will be suported in the future only.

Is that everything?

Please see also the Wiki for more information.

:wrench: Development

Use pip and virtualenv to setup the development environment:

$ virtualenv -p python2 venv && . ./venv/bin/activate
(venv) $ pip install -r requirements.txt
(venv) $ ./setup.py install
(venv) $ deactivate # Deactivate virtualenv
