RichNusGeeks CreativesSweet November brings another colorful issue of GeeksZine. We have put together Shell Internals, Git, a writeup on an automation tool PyMakeMeLazyNDumb along with some Cool Tricks and News Bytes this month. We invite everyone to become a part of the GeeksZine so that we all could prove that Open Source is Fun. A big thanks to Richard Stallman, Linus Torvalds and all the Geeks there to pamper us with FLOSS and make the GeeksZine possible. FLOSS Rulz!!!
pycreateflswthdr.py is a python app that creates various files having .c, .h, .cpp, .hpp, .java, .py, .pl, .rb, .lua, .php, .sh, .mak, .sql extensions with appropriate commented information headers. Some of the generic fields of the commented info headers are filled automatically. So use this simple but effective app next time when you want to generate files you or others could track later on.
This version of the app also supports the info header append feature to the existing files having the extensions supported by the app. For example – if you want to generate example1.c, example2.py, example.sql files in your home directory then the command to type is :
python pycreateflswthdr.py -d ~ example1.c example2.py example3.sql
If you want to append an info header to an already existing file then the command to type is :
python pycreateflswthdr.py -a example4.mak
To see the usages of the app, the command is :
python pycreateflswthdr.py -h
The app backs up existing files both in creation and append modes with extension .bak.timestamp .This app logs all the warning and error messages in a log file named activity.log in the directory from where pycreateflswthdr.py is run. Once this log file is created, all the subsequent warnings and errors are appended to it.
The download links for the project are :
and blahblah …
The PyMakeMeLazyNDumb tool is a container for these python apps and the release pattern shall be in form of the release of few of these python apps at a time. The download links for the project are :
