A simple cary command to run the unix cowsay and fortune commands.
In your configuration (usually a local_conf.py file), have the following:
FORTUNE_CONFIG = dict(COWSAY_PATH="/path/to/cowsay/program",
FORTUNE_PATH="/path/to/fortune/program",
RANDOM_COWS=dict(cowfile, "short-cow-description"...)
FORTUNES_PATH="/path/to/fortunes/directory")
...
from cary_fortunecommand import FortuneCommand
COMMANDS = {..."fortune": (FortuneCommand, FORTUNE_CONFIG)...}
the RANDOM_COWS config variable allows you to use a random sampling of cows from
cowsay; the cowfile parameter is the prefix of the cow file, while
short-cow-description is the textual description that will be sent to the
user.
The email message will be sent in plaintext and HTML versions.
