pytail-r3ap3rpy 0.1.1

No project description provided

Welcome

This is a repository that holds my implementation of the tail -f command.

In order to install it you can use either of these two ways.

git clone https://github.com/r3ap3rpy/pytail
cd pytail
python setup.py install

OR

pip install pytail-r3ap3rpy

Notes

If you install it in a virtualenv it will just work fine!

On MacOS systems the module works fine.

On linux systems if you install the module with sudo it will work fine, if you install it without sudo you may have to issue the following command after install if you cannot find the pytail executable.

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

There are two arguments:

• file (The file you want to tail!)
• filter (Optional, allows you to get only lines that contain the filter, case-insensitive!)

ToDo

• Check install issues!
• Add automatic version bump to workflow
• Add permission check to see if user has the right to read the file!
• Change it to use argparse
• Add versioning
• Add switches
