#Ascii Log View
Text file viewer written in Python and TK. (Intended for python 2.7.x)
Primary idea is to demonstrate use of TK in Python, using various widgets.
I work a lot with textual log files on windows. Default windows text viewer is Notepad. However, if you are afraid you may accidentally overwrite something in notepad and damage log file integrity, you do not have much of an alternative.
I wanted a simple view tool with ability to copy sections of text (and eventually even alter some text before copying).
To my knowing this code shall work on Windows, Linux and OSX - as is - with no modifications. Since it is written in Python you need Python with TK installed for your platform.
If you are testing it yourself, I will be glad to hear your experience.
It is possible to make executable from this source.
Install Py2Exe to your Python. http://www.py2exe.org/
If needed adjust BuildWinExe.bat
Execute BuildWinExe.bat
Executable version would be in dist folder. Check Py2exe documentation.
