The script is ~100 lines and runs anywhere Python has ~genanki~ available. The pattern is likely to spread: deepsat already has a drill file, more will follow. + +Right now Arch's PEP 668 enforcement blocks ~pip install --user genanki~, so the script needs a throwaway venv to run. Solving once at the system level removes that friction across every project. + +** Install options (pick one) +- *Arch official repo or AUR.* ~pacman -S python-genanki~ if it's in extra/community, or ~yay -S python-genanki~ from AUR. Cleanest. Auto-updates with the rest of the system. +- *pipx.* ~pipx install genanki~ — but genanki is a library, not a CLI app, so pipx is a stretch. Skip. +- *System-wide pip with ~--break-system-packages~.* Works but circumvents PEP 668. Last resort. + +Recommendation: try pacman/AUR first, fall back to a managed venv at a known path (e.g. ~/opt/python-tools/~) that scripts can shebang into. + +** Verification +After install: +#+begin_src bash +python3 -c "import genanki; print(genanki.__version__)" +#+end_src +Should print a version like ~0.13.1~ without traceback. + +** Cross-reference +- A companion message went to rulesets' inbox proposing the export script as a template script under ~claude-templates/.ai/scripts/~. That decision depends on this install landing first — without ~genanki~ available system-wide, the template script can't run out of the box. |
