pyrnalist 0.0.2

A small example package

Pyrnalist

An elegant console reporter, a python port of Yournalist.

Introduction

Pretty console output makes developers happy and Yarn is doing a nice job. Pyrnalist is an incomplete rewrite of Node.js's Yournalist, which in turn is a public version of Yarn internal console reproter.

Yurnalist can be used to report many different things besides simple messages.

Features

• log, info, warn, succes, error & command messages
• activity spinners
• emojis
• process steps
• lists
• program header & footer

Missing features of Yournalist

• progress bars
• object inspection
• trees
• tables
• user question
• user select

Install

pip install pyrnalist

How to use

Here is an example showing a combination of different reporter API functions.

from pyrnalist import report
import time

report.header("pyrnalist", version="0.0.2")

report.info("Please wait while I fetch something for you.")
report.warn("It might take a little while though.")

spinner = report.activity()
spinner.tick("I am on it!")
time.sleep(1)
spinner.tick("Still busy...")
time.sleep(1)
spinner.tick("Almost there...")
time.sleep(1)
report.success("Done!")
spinner.end()

report.footer()

Configuration

A normal import gives you a reporter instance configured with defaults for easy use. If you want something else you can call create_reporter() to give you an instance with different options.

Options

These are the options of the reporter as defined by Flow:

def create_reporter(
    verbose=True, 
    silent=False, 
    emoji=True
    ):

Credits

Of course ❤️ and credits to all the contributers of Yournalist and Yarn. The ease with which I was able to port the module to python from their codebase is proving some awesome engineering skills.
