Description:
quasselconf 0.0.2
This is a simple Python 3 application that uses PyQt5 to read (and, in
the future, write) Quassel configuration files.
Quassel stores QVariants encoded as a string / bytestream in its
configuration files, most notably to store the database connection data.
As a result, this information can only be accessed and modified by
quassel itself. This program is an attempt to make reading and modifying
those files much easier.
Currently, all this program does is dump the specified quassel config
file to terminal with all QVariants (or other objects) replaced by their
string representation. That translates the following configuration file:
[Config]
Version=1
[Core]
CoreState=@Variant(\0\0\0\b\0\0\0\x2\0\0\0 \0\x43\0o\0r\0\x65\0S\0t\0\x61\0t\0\x65\0V\0\x65\0r\0s\0i\0o\0n\0\0\0\x2\0\0\0\x1\0\0\0\x1c\0\x41\0\x63\0t\0i\0v\0\x65\0S\0\x65\0s\0s\0i\0o\0n\0s\0\0\0\t\0\0\0\x1\0\0\0\x7f\0\0\0\aUserId\0\0\0\0\x1)
StorageSettings=@Variant(\0\0\0\b\0\0\0\x1\0\0\0\xe\0\x42\0\x61\0\x63\0k\0\x65\0n\0\x64\0\0\0\n\0\0\0\f\0S\0Q\0L\0i\0t\0\x65)
To the much more human-friendly output of:
[Config]
Version=1
[Core]
CoreState={}
StorageSettings={'Backend': 'SQLite'}
Installation
quasselconf can be installed as a Python module. It only has one
external dependency, which is PyQt5.
On systems with pip, it can be installed as follows:
pip install quasselconf
Usage
quasselconf’s command line interface is currently extremely primitive
(as is the tool itself). It currently takes two arguments:
-c [/path/to/config/dir: Much like quassel itself, you can
specify the location of the quassel configuration directory. Unlike
quassel, the default is assumed to be /var/lib/quassel, as that is
usually where core configuration is to be found on most (Linux)
systems.
-t [core|client|mono]: With this flag, you can specify which
quassel config file will be read. The default is “core”. (“mono”
refers to the monolithic client with configuration file
quassel.conf).
The specified config file will be parsed and printed to standard output.
In the future, quasselconf will probably support reading in a human
readable configuration file from standard input and write the correct
form to standard output.
