Posting to WordPress via the command-line

In February I was interested in posting to WordPress from the command-line, a possibility that I enjoyed when I wanted to apply some CLI-magic to some of my MediaWiki installations in the past.

I came across a great Perl module (WordPress::CLI) by Leo Charre. It depends on WordPress::XMLRPC

Another approach is to use the appfs FUSE filesystem, which uses WordPress’ support for the Atom Publishing Protocol. There’s another FUSE filesystem, BlogFS. This one depends on WordPress’ XML-RPC instead of its Atom interface.

    Trying to use BlogFS (version (1.0?) I downloaded from nixbit), I only get errors:

    Exception RuntimeError: 'maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object' in  ignored
    Exception RuntimeError: 'maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object' in  ignored
    BlogFS initiated
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "./blogfs.py", line 732, in 
        b.main()
      File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/fuse.py", line 736, in main
        d = {'multithreaded': self.multithreaded and 1 or 0}
      File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/fuse.py", line 889, in __getattr__
        m = self.methproxy(meth)

    fuse-python-0.2 and py-xmlrpc-0.8.8.3

    blogit.vim may be just what I’m looking for. After all, the reason why I want to be able to post from the command-line is so that I can write my posts with VIM. (No, I don’t like copy-paste, although, with xsel, it might not even be that painful.)

    Also, I’ve superficially compared blogit.vim with Vimpress and Vimrepress and decided that I like blogit.vim better.
