A vim-like info reader

pin is a vim-like texinfo reader written in python, with the code being heavily inspired by the browser found in the original texinfo package. Currenly the only package in use is regex although the project is currently unfinished. At some point a user interface made using prompt-toolkit would be nice, but I simply don't have the time to finish it. I might actually rewrite this in a lower level language such as Go so that I don't have to wrestle with prompt-toolkit¹. It is heavily based on the browser that comes with the texinfo package, but only the core parser is implemented.

You can run the tests using python -m unittest discover, but be warned that you must use 3.10 or above.

Contributing

It's unlikely I'll ever finish this, but contributions are welcome. I only require that you run the unittests and check your code using pylint.
