Like `brew cat`, but automatically displays the output in a pager. Drop it in a directory on your $PATH and chmod +x it. Now you can run `brew less <formula>`!
# Thanks to <http://nex-3.com/posts/73-git-style-automatic-paging-in-ruby>
def run_pager
return if PLATFORM =~ /win32/
return unless STDOUT.tty?
read, write = IO.pipe
unless Kernel.fork
STDOUT.reopen(write)
STDERR.reopen(write) if STDERR.tty?

Quick script to determine if a set of Python packages work with Python 3
#!/usr/bin/env python
## Accepts a list of packages on stdin and prints whether each
## package is compatible with Python 3. The easiest way to
## use this script is by piping the output of `pip freeze`
## into it:
##
## $ pip freeze | py3-ready

Python's scopes are weird
# This totally works, even though `i` isn't passed into the
# lambda, nor is it defined prior to the lambda declaration.
