shoppy, a simple script as a minimalist replacement for shopping list apps

input format: a single item per line txt file, details can be added trailing with a comma

ordering: edit the store-order.txt file with category names. might sound like a weird feature but try to shop from a huge supermarket, it comes in handy.

config: place a config.py file at $HOME/.config/shoppy/

Config file arguments data_dir: str, path to where categories and the input/output lists will be stored.

TODO

• Recurrent mode
  • Add --single mode to only execute a single time otherwise behave as the dmenu-bluetooth which re-prompts all the time until user escapes with ESC
  • parser.add_argument( "-s", "--single", action="store_true", help="do not run in recurrent mode")
• Adding details
  • It should be a separate subcmd, with the following flow
    • Provide picker for all items on the list
    • Prompt user for providing details to add
    • Write list with the modification
• Handling duplicate entries
  • Check whether they are handled properly
  • A case: When there were two entries (in this instance they both had no detail) and asked to remove the entry from the list, shoppy removed both, which can be undesirable
• Missing files
  • Currently we don't cover the case where files are missing well
  • We can add the following block to covers missing order file but others need more treatment

  if not self.fpath.exists():
      logging.warning("No order file is found, creating...")
      self.fpath.touch()
  ```
