Introduction: what is pss?
You can think of pss as an enhanced grep designed to search inside source code files. pss is very similar to the Perl ack tool (see https://bitbucket.org/eliben/pss/wiki/PssAndAck).
Pre-requisites
pss needs only Python to run. It works with with Python versions 2.6, 2.7 and 3.2 on Linux and Windows. Some testing was done on on Mac OS X and FreeBSD as well.
Installing
When you unzip the source distribution, run:
> python setup.py install
Alternatively, pss can be installed from PyPi (Python package index):
> pip install pss
Running without installing
pss supports direct invocation even without installing it. This may be useful if you’re on a machine without administrator rights, or want to experiment with a source distribution of pss.
Just unzip the pss distribution into some directory. Let’s assume its full path is /path/to/pss. You can now run:
> /path/to/python /path/to/pss
And this will invoke pss as expected. This command can also be tied to an alias or placed in a shell (or batch) script for convenience.
How to use it?
pss is meant to be executed from the command line. Running it with no arguments or with -h will print a detailed usage message.
For some detailed usage examples, check out the Usage wiki page - https://bitbucket.org/eliben/pss/wiki/Usage.
