xonsh is a Python-powered, cross-platform, Unix-gazing shell language and command prompt

yeah I'm literally not competent enough to import even a single function

if you create a proper, installable xontrib, and install it on your host, it will most probably work

this might help: https://github.com/jnoortheen/xontrib-cookiecutter-poetry

you don't need to publish it, just install with pip

Thank you! I have been using the cookiecutter templates, and unfortunately that has yet to work. Is it plug-and-play or do I need to manually need to update everything in the init?

|RePa|

@dyuri:horak.hu

[m]

I don't remember manually updating much

alright so in scripts, I run the cookiecutter in the (dir)Test. It makes a subdirectory Project for me. Do I do xpip install xontrib-Project at the Test, Project, or xontrib directory?

It raises two ERRORs. "Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement xontrib-Project" and "No matching distribution found for xontrib-Project"

Is it better if I install xonsh through pip as opposed to through my package manager?

@dyuri:horak.hu

first of all, I'd not use capital letters in project names

check the example part of the readme of the xontrib cookiecutter

[m]

I read it, I'm still struggling to actually get it to work but the example does seem to be helping some. It seems I missed a crucial part of the build process with the poetry toolchain. 🤦‍♂️

poetry build is failing because 'xontrib is not a package'

pickle_jam

@pickle_jam:matrix.org

[m]

I got it to build by messing around with the module names, now I just need to figure out how to install it

I think I got it

|RePa|

@dyuri:horak.hu

[m]

standing in the xontrib's folder and issuing pip install --user . (or something like that) should do it

@anki-code

The cookiecutter template has detailed example of how to make and install xontrib - https://github.com/xonsh/xontrib-cookiecutter
Also it has xontrib promotion section in the readme - https://github.com/xonsh/xontrib-cookiecutter/tree/main/%7B%7Bcookiecutter.project_repo_name%7D%7D
Finally there are huge amount of open sourced xontribs that could be an examples - https://github.com/topics/xontrib

yeah I finally solved my woes, thank you all for your help... and I don't know what it was, I just straight-up did not see one or two important commands and flags to solve my issue

I very much do appreciate you guys reaching out tho

I think I've figured out Kitty + xonsh is my favorite shell stack

yakuake is also very good though

Andy Kipp

@anki-code

JFYI there is an upstream issue in Kitty + prompt-toolkit (that xonsh uses) - xonsh/xonsh#4194

I prefer Konsole (Yakuake uses Konsole) as time tested solution for me.

pickle_jam

@pickle_jam:matrix.org

over Kitty?

Andy Kipp

@anki-code

instead of kitty )

pickle_jam

@pickle_jam:matrix.org

[m]

the biggest draw-factor to Yakuake for me is the screen-toucht-to-summon feature

|RePa|

@dyuri:horak.hu

[m]

I still prefer kitty

Andy Kipp

@anki-code

I'm not the big user of kitty and may be it's better than konsole in fact. Just wanted to let you know about known issue.

|RePa|

@dyuri:horak.hu

[m]

well, I blame prompt_toolkit for anything similar

they broke right prompt months ago

and the PR that fixes it might never gonna make it

Andy Kipp

@anki-code

Is there a link to the issue/pr?

|RePa|

@dyuri:horak.hu

[m]

prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit#1241 (you already mentioned this in a starship related discussion)

prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit#1271 this PR fixes this issue (and other completion menu related ones)

for me at least

Andy Kipp

@anki-code

The kind reminder has been added :)

Strange probelm: When I interrupt an on the xonsh commandline long running for-loop (something like:

for f in open('filelist.txt'):
     grep -H "MySearchTerm" @(f.strip())

) with a SIGINT signal, then I get sometimes in the xonsh shell the error:

>$ RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in comparison

Any idea why?

Hey everyone, hope you’re well.

having a weird issue with Xonsh. Tried to write a little program to move files, and its failing with “name file is not defined”

dyuri

@dyuri:horak.hu

[m]

files.txt in for filename in files.txt: is interpreted as a python variable and it isn't defined ineed

alat-rights

@alat-rights

oh gosh! That’s silly of me. Thanks for letting me know.

dyuri

you can do something like
for filename in $(cat files.txt).split("\n"):

(strange issue, I can't see the attached image in my matrix client)

Andy Kipp

@anki-code

The best way is to use splitlines instead of split and stripping:

for filename in $(cat files.txt).splitlines():
    mv @(filename) misc/
    # OR explicitly:
    $[mv @(filename) misc/]

@alat-rights I recommend to read the xonsh cheatsheet - it's good start.

@alat-rights

Awesome, thank you!

Ok one more question, do you guys know how I can get tmux to auto-start xonsh at startup?

Use default-shell not default-command as I found out the hard way.

@eggcaker
