wp_publisher: desktop posting tool for WordPress

I've written a Python GUI application to publish to a WordPress blog from the desktop. It has a simple interface and is not really a full "client" for WordPress. However, I think it would be useful to many people who simply want to post to their blog after composing their post offline (in a text file). It supports most of the post publishing options in WordPress including adding multiple categories and the option to turn off/on comments and pingbacks.

To run it, simply download the tar.gz file, extract it and run the wp_publisher.py program from the command line.

Download: wp_publisher.tar.gz (5.2 kB)

Dependencies: python, libglade, python-gtk, python-glade (GTK 2.0)

Screenshot: wp_publisher

  1. Will give this a try and get back with details. Looks usable enough, and from the screenshot appears that one can choose a category as well. That's a feature that not many Blog-clients offer, and you have a multiple category option. Impressive!

  2. Thanks LinuxLala. I'm not yet planning on a complete client because I don't think the other features like editing old posts etc. etc. will be used much. Anyway, if you think this needs more features, just drop a line here.

  5. Thanks for writing this - it's just what I was looking for. Nice to see a plain and simple list of dependencies along with the download, too - if only every *nix program did that, my life would be a lot simpler.

  6. Johnnie, are you being sarcastic?:mrgreen: Because I'm sure I missed mentioning one dependency which is python-xmlrpc.Sorry about that.
