keeping a page for later

I read with qutebrowser, and I often stumble upon a page I have no time for. I already keep them with a clk command.

@command()
@argument('url', help='The page to read later')
def read_later(url):
    'Keep a page to read it later'
    print(f'I will read {url} later')

clk read-later https://clk-project.org/

I will read https://clk-project.org/ later

a key in qutebrowser

I want a key that does it on the page I am reading. qutebrowser runs userscripts and gives them the url in QUTE_URL, so mine only calls clk.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
clk read-later "${QUTE_URL}"

I bind it in my config.py.

config.bind('<Space>r', 'spawn --userscript read-later')

qutebrowser is a python program, and its userscripts get the PYTHONPATH it runs with. Mine comes with a click of its own, one clk cannot work with.

I press the key, and clk does not even start.

ImportError: clk cannot work with the click of qutebrowser

letting clk use its own libraries

With CLK_FORCE_DEPS set, clk puts what PYTHONPATH says after its own libraries. It takes its own click, and still finds the rest of PYTHONPATH.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
export CLK_FORCE_DEPS=1
clk read-later "${QUTE_URL}"

I will read https://clk-project.org/ later
