A simple Python script to allow you to quickly search from the command line that I’ve been playing with on and off for a while.

It uses the Python Library Fire to automatically generate the command line interface which is something I stumbled across recently.

You either pass it a paramater for the search term or if one it not passed it used whatever is in your clipboard buffet.

Updating the parameter file you can add other search engines and pick which one to use as your default.

Make learning programming fun

It is funny how things come around again, when I started learning to programming back in the 1980s on my 8 bit machines (ZX81, Acorn Electron, BBC Micro) I used to play with graphics a lot. It gave instant feedback and visually showed the results of things like recursion. I had great fun playing with Fractals and other procedural generated images.

Recently I discovered a YouTube channel and programming platform which took me right back to those days.
