[bug#40757] New package: VisiData

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 579 bytes --]

Hi Guix! This patch adds a package for VisiData.

VisiData is an interactive multitool for tabular data. It combines the clarity of a spreadsheet, the efficiency of the terminal, and the power of Python, into a lightweight utility which can handle millions of rows with ease. https://www.visidata.org/, GPLv3

Tests are disabled because they are not packaged with the source tarball.
You can view test status here: https://circleci.com/gh/saulpw/visidata/tree/stable
Upstream suggests tests will be packaged with their source tarball around their 2.0 release.

Cheers,
Ryan Prior

Thanks for the patch! This looks like some cool software.

I'm not an expert reviewer, but I'd like to try to help by offering the 
following suggestions for improvement.

The module name should be (gnu packages visidata) to match the filesystem 
path.

It might be helpful to catch problems like this to try to apply your patch 
apply your patch to a guix source checkout, and try building your package 
from there. The manual has some documentation about that, 
<https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Building-from-Git.html>, but I 
can answer questions as well.

The GitHub archive URIs are not stable and could result in a different 
hash in the future. Often in these cases we use git-fetch, but since 
visidata is available on pypi, I would recommend

(uri (pypi-uri "visidata" version))

Nitpick: I would prefer to have the comment before the code. I think the 
line about circleci could be removed, but the other two seem good.

Are these all native inputs (required to make the build system run)? I 
expect that some of them could be moved to inputs (run-tine dependencies).

>+   (synopsis "Visidata: A terminal spreadsheet multitool for discovering and arranging data")

guix lint reports that the synopsis should not start with the package 
name. In this case, I think it could be changed to, "Terminal spreadsheet 
for discovering and arranging data".

>+   (description

Please use two spaces between sentences in the description.

Nitpick: "with ease" sounds like a marketing term, and I believe we can 
leave it out here.

>+   (home-page "https://www.visidata.org/")
>+   (license gpl3)))

In other modules, we import licenses with the license: prefix, so we can 
refer to licenses as like license:gpl3. It might be nice to do that 
here for consistency as well.

The vdtui.py file is under the expat license, so we should record that 
here. With these changes the license field would become something like:

(license (list license:gpl3
                license:expat)) ; visidata/vdtui.py

Thanks and all the best,
Jack

You're welcome, and thanks for sending the updated patch.

I think now we're waiting on a more experienced reviewer to see if I 
missed anything, and if it looks good a committer to push your patch.

Best,

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Hi Ryan,

I’ve adjusted the patch to gnu/local.mk which no longer applied, changed
spaces to tabs in gnu/local.mk, fixed the indentation of visidata.scm,
ran “guix lint”, built it and tested it (didn’t know how to exit, so I
just did ^Zkill %1) … and pushed it to the master branch with commit
c47f48d972.

Thank you for your patch!
