Great idea. Would like to have it precompiled, I don't have Python.

Am not sure where to approach this question from. How come you don't have python? Surely the effort of installing python is less than the effort to precompile this package?

> How come you don't have python?

It's just not installed on OSX and I have no use for Python and I am not familiar with Python.

I could just install it with 'brew install python' but I still prefer a clean and slim command line interface for this application.

EDIT: I understood from reading the thread that for better customizability it's better to have some scripting environment

OSX comes with (an old version of) python installed already.
