# Tiddlywiki Launcher

A small Python wrapper script for installing [TiddlyWiki](https://tiddlywiki.com/) in a system-wide way so that each user on the system can launch their own TiddlyWiki.

## Features and limitations

* Respects the `$BROWSER` environment variable.

* Uses `/usr/bin/xdg-open` for opening TiddlyWiki in a browser, if `$BROWSER` is not set.

* Requires [`empty.html`](http://www.tiddlywiki.com/empty.html) to be present in `/usr/share/tiddlywiki/empty.html`.

* Copies `empty.html` into `$HOME/.tiddlywiki` upon launch, if Tiddlywiki does not already exist there.

## tiddlywiki.py

This is the entire script, without comments:

```python

from sys import argv

from os.path import join, exists

from os import mkdir, system, environ

def main():

    arguments = argv[1:]

    if arguments:

        where = arguments[0]

    else:

        where = join(environ['HOME'], '.tiddlywiki')

    goal = join(where, 'index.html')

    if not exists(where):

        mkdir(where)

        system('cp /usr/share/tiddlywiki/empty.html %s' % (goal))

    if ('BROWSER' in environ) and environ['BROWSER']:

        system(environ['BROWSER'] + " " + goal)

    else:

        system("/usr/bin/xdg-open " + goal)

if __name__ == "__main__":

    main()

```
