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!
