map-dots-fetch

A one-shot Python (3.11) script that fetches one or more images from a map-dots server.

Remember that map-dots can be run as a CLI application so if you are not looking to access map-dots images on more than one computer, you are probably best skipping this script and running map-dots locally.

Running

map-dots-fetch uses imports from the standard-library with the exception of requests. You can choose to run it in a venv however it has been written to run in the global environment and should not interfere with any other Python applications that you are running.

map-dots-fetch requires a configuration file, an example of which is provided in this repository. The configuration file must be placed in one of these locations:

Linux systems:

  • ~/.config/map-dots-fetch/conf.toml
  • /etc/map-dots-fetch/conf.toml
  • ./conf.toml In the same folder as map-dots-fetch.py

Windows systems:

  • C:\Users\{user}\map-dots-fetch.toml Alongside your user files
  • ./conf.toml

If the config file exists in more than one place, the first file found will be loaded. Files are checked in the order they appear in the lists.

If no config file is present, the script will exit with an exit code of 1.
