Package application

Open inverse opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Was wondering what your opinion would be of packaging this application up and distributing it on pypi.

Would have the following benifits

  • Ease of installation through leveraging tools like pip or even better with pipx
  • Clearer versioning, since it'll be packaged it could be tagged as 1.0.0 etc

The problems I can see so far are where to store application state... since right now its residing in the working directory we would have to store this elsewhere in a way which works across various OS.

Great idea! I don't really have much experience with distributing packages, so I will have to look into it. I would also greatly appreciate your help as this project hasn't seen help from you in a while!

Will try to free up some time to work on it.

This looks like it could solve the application storage problem: https://pypi.org/project/appdirs/
