This is less of a project, and more of a quick app I whipped up one afternoon to fix a minor annoyance: interacting with Pastebin.com. I like the service, and use it often, but I wanted a quicker way to access the information I stored there. After a look at their API page, and some experimentation with the Python Requests library, I put together a simple command-line interface that lists every note I have stored there, and allows me to view or download them. It doesn't do much, but it scratches this itch for me, and so I thought I'd share it with you.
In addition to the project files here, you will need to create one additional file to make this script work. Once you have downloaded this code, create a plain text "settings.txt" in the same directory as "pastebin.py". Format it as follows:
key=test_key
username=test_username
password=test_password
Replace "test_key" with your Pastebin developer key, "test_username" with your Pastebin username, and "test_password" with your Pastebin password. Do not incldue any spaces, quotation marks, or any other special characters, or any lines except those three. Now run "pastebin.py".
