• enscript in pure Python

    From Antti Louko@21:1/5 to All on Sun May 17 13:51:28 2020
    Hi,

    I finally got my pure Python enscript program to work also with Python 3.

    If you want, you can fetch it here:

    https://alo.fi/Enscript/enscript-20200517-a.zip

    That is a zip file, containing only one file, enscript, which itself is a zip file intended to be run as such. I use a python way to have the program itself and all its required resources in one compact file and also avoid any need for a
    separate install process. In Linux, BSD and MacOS, just make the enscript executable and run it.

    As it is unsafe to run programs given by someone untrusted, you are encouraged to unzip the enscript file and examine the source code bfore running it blindly!

    There is no manual page yet. Traditional enscript manual page generally applies. -P is not supported yet, please pipe to lpr or lp program.

    I encourage to experiment with --retro option with --color option. --bgcolor f2fff2 -Gcolor f2fff2 gives different tone etc.

    I have not yet released this with any particular license but probably will with GPL3. As of now, copyright is with me except parts written by someone else, like the base fonts, modified Bitstream Vera Sans. Anyone is free to try this for his own use at this time.
