I’ve found the expanse to be somewhat loosely analogous, but making the associations is a bit of a stretch I guess.

UN is America, Mars is Israel, Belters are Palestinians or other brown folk.

Or they’re any number of similar analogues.

Spoilers from the last books (post the current end of the show)

! The entire premise of the current leadership is endless unchecked growth

! This mirrors the Laconian goal of superiority through holding onto what’s basically a free infinite energy machine, only it’s not really free, it’s just being stolen from neighboring universes who’s very advanced inhabitants really don’t like that.

! We see the same hubris from the people in charge thinking that just a little more control or a little more power will be enough to save us, when really the answer is to let go and stop trying to control everything

Honestly I’m planning on using it on my legit games for my headless streaming server, which is what got me interested in building that auto install script.

I’ve got a little library of similar installation scripts I’ve built over the years so it was just a matter of modifying it to meet this scripts’ requirements

Happy to help! Let me know if you run into any problems and I’ll see if I can debug

It allows users to run the script on any installation of Python no matter where it’s located, as well as allowing a user to set up specific Python package versions separate from the system-native ones.

Basically for flexibility and easy setup

Try a venv or miniconda and use the universal shebang:

#!/usr/bin/env python

Edit: you’ve activated my brain shrimp, so I’ll be back with an interactive setup script in a bit

Edit2:

Sorry I know it’s GitHub but codeberg doesn’t support gists yet and I can’t fully test this by myself. Seems to work fine on Linux mint. I’ll do some testing on Windows later
