I recently decided to give iTerm a try, so I needed a way to launch shells and other things requiring a terminal the same way I launched them inside rxvt-unicode: using Quicksilver.

I suppose I could use AppleScript to do this, but…

1. I don’t really like its syntax;
2. I’m currently addicted to python;

So I made qslaunch, a very small python package to help do the job, and this little post to tell how to use it :)

In this post, I’m assuming some knowledge of python, regular expressions and how to use a shell.

I won’t detail things too much either as I think the code speaks by itself.
