Ignore all terminal commands while it’s lunchtime!

Features

This is a simple command-line application that will ignore all terminal commands while it’s running.

Background

Most of us have a boss or supervisor that usually walks in right at lunch time, asking for updates on the job. This is quite annoying, and often things end up with people starving while they show their results to the boss.

For this reason I decided to build this tool, so you can pretend your computer is not working and hopefully convince your boss to leave and have lunch at a decent time!

PLEASE NOTE: use at your own risk! Use this tool wisely, as it might lead to unexpected consequences (for your job) if misused.

Installation

It is possible to install lunchtime using pip:

pip install lunchtime

Both Python2 and Python3 are supported.

Please refer to the Installation section of the documentation for more details.

Usage

Simply launch lunchtime and enjoy a broken terminal:

$ lunchtime

A new clean terminal will open, where you can type your commands and no response will be produced. The lunchtime will stop when the exit command is issued.

If you want to astonish your boss even more, you can use the --crazy option:

$ lunchtime --crazy

In this case, a weird string will be returned after each command!

Please refer to the Usage section of the documentation for more details.

This package was created with Cookiecutter and the cc-pypackage project template.

Installation

Stable release

To install lunchtime, run this command in your terminal:

$ pip install lunchtime

This is the preferred method to install lunchtime, as it will always install the most recent stable release.

If you don’t have pip installed, this Python installation guide can guide you through the process.

From sources

The sources for lunchtime can be downloaded from the Github repo.

You can either clone the public repository:

$ git clone git://github.com/robertopreste/lunchtime

Or download the tarball:

$ curl  -OL https://github.com/robertopreste/lunchtime/tarball/master

Once you have a copy of the source, you can install it with:

$ python setup.py install

Usage

Simply launch lunchtime and enjoy a broken terminal:

$ lunchtime

A new clean terminal will open, where you can type your commands and no response will be produced. The lunchtime will stop when the exit command is issued.

If you want to astonish your boss even more, you can use the --crazy option:

$ lunchtime --crazy
# or also
$ lunchtime -c

In this case, a weird string will be returned after each command!

When starting and stopping lunchtime, a simple message is printed and a 2-second sleep is performed. If you’re in a hurry because your boss is approaching, you can use the --silent option to skip these and jump right into the (broken) terminal:

$ lunchtime --silent
# or also
$ lunchtime -s

As usual, type exit to go back to your functioning terminal.

Write Documentation

lunchtime could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official lunchtime docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts, articles, and such.

Submit Feedback

The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/robertopreste/lunchtime/issues.

If you are proposing a feature:

Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up lunchtime for local development.

  1. Fork the lunchtime repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/lunchtime.git
    
  3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:

    $ mkvirtualenv lunchtime
    $ cd lunchtime/
    $ python setup.py develop
    
  4. Create a branch for local development:

    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
    

    Now you can make your changes locally.

  5. When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:

    $ flake8 lunchtime tests
    $ python setup.py test or py.test
    $ tox
    

    To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.

  6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

    $ git add .
    $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
    $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
    
  7. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

  1. The pull request should include tests.
  2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.rst.
  3. The pull request should work for Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6, and for PyPy. Check https://travis-ci.org/robertopreste/lunchtime/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.

Tips

To run a subset of tests:

$ py.test tests.test_lunchtime

Deploying

A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy. Make sure all your changes are committed (including an entry in HISTORY.rst). Then run:

$ bumpversion patch # possible: major / minor / patch
$ git push
$ git push --tags

Travis will then deploy to PyPI if tests pass.
