PyBlogPyBlog is a simple blogging tool which allows blog postings to be made quickly and without having to log on to the web blogging interface, which may be slow. At present, only WordPress and Blogger are supported but because PyBlog uses the Blogger API, other blogging sites may be added easily. On the downside, as far as I know the Blogger API doesn't allow titles or tags so WordPress users will have to add these manually (sorry, back to the web interface you go!) During the first use, PyBlog asks for your login details which are saved in the file pyblog.conf as an encrypted XML file. Once this is completed, future posts may be done either using the file dialog (simply click on pyblog) or by dragging your files onto the pyblog.exe file icon (I keep a handy shortcut on my desktop). Other suggestions for rapid posting are to add pyblog to your "sendto" menu or to create associations to "*.blog", etc etc. You get the idea :-) PyBlog is available under the GPL. The following are available: Note: For the source package, be prepared to go into the source code to set a suitable encryption key -> for security reasons this couldn't be left in the source package! - the corresponding bit is in pyblog_funcs.py, should be easy enough to find. The file setup.py is a py2exe setup file. If you have py2exe installed, just type: python setup.py py2exe from the command line and it should generate the pyblog binary folder (this appears as "dist" - you can rename it to anything you want, of course) |
