0find

find the implementation dir for a given 0install interface

0find is a simple program that uses zeroinstall's python API to get the local path implementing a given interface. This is useful for passing into scripts that are not themselves managed via 0install. sample usage: 0launch http://gfxmonk.net/dist/0install/0find.xml http://gfxmonk.net/dist/0install/file-finder.xml will (on my machine) print: /home/tim/.cache/0install.net/implementations/sha1new=73323f6793e85192518dc4eaa39ad32b4377f78a You now have a concrete path you can pass into utilities that require a path, rather than a 0install interface. You can also use the zerofind python interface directly, if you prefer: >>> import zerofind >>> zerofind.find('http://gfxmonk.net/dist/0install/file-finder.xml') u'/home/tim/.cache/0install.net/implementations/sha1new=73323f6793e85192518dc4eaa39ad32b4377f78a'
