Bibletime with Trivia App integration

[Aronzak]

This is a small addition to the trivia app that lets the second trivia window have a second button called 'lookup' that will pass the Bible passage to Bibletime, letting a user see the context of the trivia question. I haven't figured out a way to do this with Xiphos (included by default). Would it be possible to include Bibletime by default? Or maybe can anyone work on Xiphos to add the ability to pass in a verse to lookup, like with bibletime's --open-default-bible?

OK - there isn't an easy way to do it, but I've put together a little script that edits the session tab file and launches gnomesword.

A few provisos at this point:
1. If you've never opened gs then it might not have the file created, which would be bad ;)
2. I'm using stock Ubuntu, so it's still called gnomesword2 and not xiphos, but should be hard to play with it

Just save it as gnomesword_launch.py (or whatever) and then run:


$ python gnomesword_launch 1 John 3:16


#!/usr/bin/env python

# Short script to fool xiphos (nee gnomesword2) to opening at a passage

import re, sys, os

if (len(sys.argv) == 1) :
print "Launching GnomeSword..."
os.system("gnomesword2")
else:
myverse = " ".join(sys.argv[1:])
print "Launching GnomeSword to "+myverse

# Read in the last open tabs file
tabs_file = os.path.expanduser("~/.gnomesword/tabs/.last_session_tabs")
tabs_data = open(tabs_file, 'r').readlines()

output_data = ""
added = False

for line in tabs_data:
if ((line.split()[0] != "<tab") or (added)) :
output_data += line
else:
# Add a new tab based on current tab
newline = re.sub('text_commentary_key=".*?"', 'text_commentary_key="'+myverse+'"', line)
output_data += newline
output_data += line
added = True

# Overwrite the tabs file
output = open(tabs_file, 'w')
output.write(output_data)
output.close()

# Launch gnomesword
os.system("gnomesword2")
Should be easy to integrate now.
