Pastebin access from terminal

[ideamonk]

Hi,

I've written a useful python script that helps you paste your code over various paste-bins directly from a terminal.
Its as simple as this -


$ pypaste myfoobar.rb
http://paste.ubuntu.com/######
$

I've written more about it here - http://ideamonk.blogspot.com/2009/08/pypaste-pastebins-at-your-terminal.html

The project is available on github - http://github.com/ideamonk/pypaste/tree/master

It's pretty easy to install.

Hope this helps you speed up your work. I have tried to make the source easy to understand and hackable, I would like to know if someone would be interested in extending it over more pastebin services.

Note: I just learnt that there is something called pastebinit which is very popular. Sad that i didn't know about it before i started. The good part is PyPaste automatically detects syntax highlighting for you.

Have a great time.

This looks very cool, thanks for sharing. I personally don't have an use for it but I'm sure somebody here will find it useful. If I may make a suggestion though; I took a look at the install.sh file, and noticed that your installer assumes that Bash is the shell in use on the system. As a Zsh user, this doesn't work well for me :). Of course I could go in and change it to my .zshrc, but if you used the $SHELL variable to find the default shell your users wouldn't need to go through that step. Otherwise, great job.

Nice.

Also, gnome-do has a similar feature, in which you can send selected text directly to paste bin.

*edit:
You could also add that it sends firefox to that link, with the webbrowser (http://docs.python.org/library/webbrowser.html#webbrowser.open_new_tab) module is pretty easy (webbrowser.open_new_tab(url)).

Woah! the gnome do stuff is pretty cool. I'm not aware of zsh, will look into implementing $SHELL stuff soon.
