poetry build

Installing

Install the package via pipx:

pipx install pricedisplay

or globally with pip:

python -m pip install pricedisplay

Currently you need Python 3.9 or greater.

NOTE: On macOS you may get a warning from urllib3. The default installation of Python includes OpenSSL version compiled with LibreSSL, which is no longer supported. You can fix this by installing Python with Homebrew. For details see this issue.

Usage

If you installed with pipx, you can run the display simply with the command:

pricedisplay

or if you used pip:

python -m pricedisplay

The package creates a settings file config.yml in your config path.

OS	Settings Location
macOS	~/Library/Application Support/pricedisplay/
GNU/Linux	~/.config/pricedisplay/
Windows	%APPDATA%\pricedisplay\

You can also pass your own settings file as an argument:

pricedisplay --settings PATH

Notes

The actual display of the graph depends on your terminal font and colors. For best results you should have UTF-8 encoding and a font which includes unicode East Asian ambiguous characters (in wide format). Some tested combinations are:

OS	Terminal	Font
macOS	iTerm with Bash	Hack
GNU/Linux	Gnome with Bash	Ubuntu Mono
Windows	Mintty with Bash	Lucida Console
