FTR: The situation wrt tldr-py isn't much better: Its upstream (https://github.com/lord63/tldr.py) last commit is from 5 years ago, the latest tag is v0.7.0 while there is a 0.8.0 version on https://pypi.org/project/tldr.py/ and also according to one of the most 'recent' commits ... just forgot the tag I suppose? There's https://github.com/lord63/tldr.py/pull/50 ("fix: change master branch to main branch") and https://github.com/lord63/tldr.py/issues/49 ("upstream tldr mindlessly changed master to main"), both still open, which seem to indicate it's currently broken? (And no activity by the maintainer for years it seems by a quick scan) I installed the ``tldr-py`` package and tried to run it: - It apparently wants a config file in ``~/.tldrrc`` (not ideal IMO) - Upon running ``tldr init`` it asks "Input the tldr repo path(absolute path):". I had no idea what it should be, so I tried an URL I found at https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr-python-client and when researching a bit further, that seems to be an entirely different project... Apparently you're supposed to provide the location to your local clone of this git repo: https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr.git I can clone a git repo, but this doesn't look user friendly. And I guess you run into the above mentioned issue/PR which you need to apply to make it work? This doesn't invalidate your point about the haskell client, but I don't consider the ``tldr-py`` package a suitable replacement.
