Thank you very much!

“As powerful as LaTeX” is a huge claim. How strong is this claim?

Edit: The claim is that it is designed to be as powerful as LaTeX, not that it presently is. Does it reach its goal?

We aren’t pretending it isn’t happening. We are making a mindful sacrifice.

Leaving Facebook is more than just not using a website. Facebook is more than a website and leaving it is leaving the entire culture it has captured, so that our energies are spent building the culture that remains uncaptured instead of contributing to the captured culture. It’s a big fucking deal that affects every aspect of your life in modern society.

But your honour, I only beat him to within an inch of his life. What do you mean, guilty???

Windows was never the safe option, it was the anticompetative option that took away the safe options!! Windows has always been quite genuinely the least secure, least stable, least maintainable option.

This is probably a problem with how the question is being asked, but…

A .py file is not an application. It might be a component of an application but there is no general way to “install” a .py file. If you are coming from microsoft, you can think of a .py file as similar to a .bat file, but it might also be more like a .dll file.

If the .py file contains a script meant to be run like a .bat file, you can to run it from wherever you saved it using the Python interpreter. That is what is occurring in this example from your page:

python3 rectarg.py R230122W.cht R230122W.txt output.tif --target_dpi 300 --background GS10 --label_axis_visible X=B

The user is using the python3 command to run the rectarg.py script from the current directory, and passing it arguments with the rest of the commandline. This doesn’t require installing rectarg.py, just knowing the path (or in this case, being in that path).
