A New Script - 2021-07-23 17:52
===============================
I wrote a new script to to make it easier to start new posts. Here it is:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import os
import re
import subprocess
from datetime import datetime
from pathlib import Path
DEFAULT_EXT = '.md'
EDITOR = os.environ.get('EDITOR', 'vim')
title = input('Title: ')
dashed_title = re.sub(r'\s+','-', title)
if not title.strip():
print('Title is empty, aborting')
exit(0)
path = Path(f"{datetime.now():%y%m%d}-{dashed_title.lower()}")
path = path.with_suffix(path.suffix or DEFAULT_EXT)
if input(f'Edit {path!s}? (Y/n): ').lower().strip() in ('', 'y', 'yes'):
header = f"{title} - {datetime.now():%Y-%m-%d %H:%M}"
path.write_text(f"{header}\n{'='*len(header)}")
subprocess.run([EDITOR, path])
It's nothing fancy, but... maybe it's helpful to you!
