Trelby

Screenplay writing software

Trelby is a screenplay writing program. See http://www.trelby.org/ for more details.

About this project

This is a fork of the original codebase from https://github.com/trelby/trelby, which as of this writing appears to be dormant.

The major difference of this fork is conversion to Python 3. I also have a list of possible enhancements in mind, and I'd love help updating the Windows packaging so that I can provide a Windows build.

Installation

From source

1. git clone https://github.com/limburgher/trelby.git

2. cd trelby

3. pip3 install -r requirements.txt
   Depending on your python version, you might run into wxWidgets/Phoenix#2296. We recommend executing pip3 install attrdict3 before installing the requirements in that case. If that still doesn't work, we recommend upgrading your python version.

4. ./bin/trelby

Debian and variants

1. sudo apt install python3-setuptools wxpython-tools python3-lxml python3-reportlab

2. Download and install the .deb file for Ubuntu, Debian, or Raspian here:

• or -

1. sudo apt install python3-setuptools wxpython-tools python3-lxml python3-reportlab

2. make deb

3. Install the resulting .deb file

Fedora

sudo dnf install trelby

Windows

It works on any windows that works with a supported version of python. It currently has to be manually installed. Ensure the dependencies in requirements.txt (either through pip or via msys2) and run the trelby.bat BATCH script.
