This is based off the archey command (which is also python) distributed by various linux, unix, and osx package managers. In order to avoid a naming conflict between them, I called this pyarchey.
Currently, pyarchey supports Arch, Fedora, LinuxMint, Ubuntu, SUSE, Debian, Raspbian, generic Linux, and Slackware.

The preferred way is to use pypi.org :
pip install pyarcheyYou can also do:
git clone https://github.com/walchko/pyarchey.git
cd pyarchey
python setup.py installIf you plan on doing some development, instead of install you can do develop.
To run:
pyarcheyargs:
--display display ascii logos for all distributions --help help --json output json of system info, nothing is printed to the screen --zeroconfig add .local to a hostname for zeroconfig to find IP address easier
Some things I would like to do:
- Display user defined ascii art from command line
- Get a better Raspbian image
- Turn colors on/off
- Allow different colors to be defined from command line
As far as I am aware, this was started by @djmelik which was then forked by @mikeantonacci where I forked it form him.
- Dimitris Zlatanidis (dslackw) - Slackware support
- mikeantonacci - fixed tab errors
