tox_profile

Read and manipulate tox profile files. It started as a simple script from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30901873/what-format-are-tox-files-stored-in

For the moment logging_tox_savefile.py just reads a Tox profile and prints to stdout various things that it finds. Then it writes what it found in YAML to stderr. Later it can be extended to print out JSON or YAML, and then extended to accept JSON or YAML to write a profile.

Requirements

If you want to read encrypted profiles, you need to download toxygen to deal with encrypted tox files, from: https://git.plastiras.org/emdee/toxygen_wrapper Just put the toxygen/toxygen directory on your PYTHONPATH You also need to link your libtoxcore.so and libtoxav.so and libtoxencryptsave.so into wrapper/../libs/ Link all 3 from libtoxcore.so files if you have only libtoxcore.so

If you want to read the GROUPS section, you need Python msgpack: https://pypi.org/project/msgpack/

If you want to write in YAML, you need Python yaml: https://pypi.org/project/PyYAML/

If you have coloredlogs installed it will make use of it: https://pypi.org/project/coloredlogs/

Future Directions

Because it's written in Python it is easy to extend to, for example, rekeying a profile when copying a profile to a new device: https://git.plastiras.org/emdee/tox_profile/wiki/MultiDevice-Announcements-POC
