colout is an interesting tool: like grep but different. The idea is to highlight lines (or parts of lines) that match a particular pattern.
Sadly, it won’t build in my environment, and I don’t understand python well enough to figure out what’s wrong. 🙁
I keep thinking I should learn the basics of Python programming. But I never seem to get around to it.
Today I needed to know how to install a program written in Python, because Homebrew used to include eyeD3 and today it didn’t. Here’s what I ended up doing:
$ sudo easy_install pip  # because pip isn’t installed
$ sudo pip install eyeD3
then it says that won’t work because libmagic isn’t installed. But fortunately, Homebrew provides that (whatever it is). So try again:
$ brew install libmagic
$Â sudo pip install eyeD3
P.S. eyeD3 is the best command-line ID3 tag editor I’ve found. It is the only thing I’ve found that allows you to install album art from the command line. (See my earlier post.)
