TST,BLD,BUG: if __name__=='__main__': __main__.main(argv) and tests

• fix asciifx console_script so that pip -e . works
• tests for main(argv=["--help"])

I changed 'ascii-fx' to 'asciifx', because it already doesn't have a dash in pyproject.yml:

Thank you for the pull request.

I just pushed an update that incorporates most of your changes.

Except, I omitted the tests because they strike me as overkill (live a little 🤪). Plus, I strongly dislike pytest, which performs far too much magic for a test runner. I'm surprised that you didn't add it to the optional dependencies.

I also added code to actually return meaningful error codes and not always 0.

If the changes meet your needs, I'll publish a new version of the package and close this pull request.

Thanks! I had started to add syntax highlighting with pygments and added a test main first, but haven't gotten around to adding a flag to keep syntax highlighting optional. This was for an arithmetic tutorial for a science fair -like STEM night, which I've continue to spend time on iterating. There should be tests for agg in agg, which only produces .gif, which *should* work into one longer video with e.g. ffmpeg and a screencast with "GPU Screen Recorder" or OBS. I have .gif output from agg that seems to flicker with --font-size=28 and pygments-color-scheme=github-dark regardless of font. The sphinxcontrib.asciicinema JS .cast player looks much more crisp; like something that could be edited together with a screencast video of one or more notebook implementations. Perhaps CEF Chromium Embedded would be a way to replay notebooks in terminal ASCII and record, and also to non-heaeless replay .ipynb input cells in a browser just like asciifx. I started to write an IPythonREPL(SubprocessRepl) that almost worked; but I was in hurry due to a deadline so I punted for a PexpectRepl which also almost worked. I don't think I had found the regex to strip terminal control codes. Certain %magic commands like `%doctest_mode`, `%%pfile asciiart.txt`, `%psource src.py`, `%pip` and `%mamba` only work with the IPython interpreter, which also has shell escape codes to ignore when pexpecting. jupytext.read() and .reads() read any format of Jupyter Notebook; including the `# %%` percent format. IDK when I would've gotten to this again; probably in another year
