Flexibly display colorful messages to the shell, logfiles, and notifications.

pouty

The pouty package is a collection of tools for enabling fast and flexible messaging and logging. The main pouty.ConsolePrinter class makes it easy to print colorful info/warning/error/debug messages with automatic prefixes, indenting, and format-string interpolation of arguments. Message output can be directed to logfiles, system/desktop notifications, or a menubar widget (see below).

Dependencies

Note: This section will be updated as the packaging and dependencies are fixed.

My roto package is a required dependency. There are also two optional dependencies, if you want to use them:

1. tonsky/AnyBar: The pouty.anybar module communicates color updates to the AnyBar menubar widget in macOS, which you can coordinate with state changes in your program, etc.
2. julianXX/terminal-notifier: Setting popup=True on output calls will also attempt to emit a desktop notification. If terminal-notifier is on your path, then it will be called instead of the default, which is to use an AppleScript (osascript) notification.

Todo

• Fix dependencies for other packages of mine (e.g., remove or add as submodules)
• Update the setup.py to ensure correct installation, etc.
• Improve function and class APIs to enhance usabililty and convenience
• Code style and formatting consistency (e.g., flake8 validation)
