PyRV For Linux

PyRV is a completely free, multiplatform and open source graphical utility implemented in Python, designed to act as a tool for downloading random images from the Google Images search engine, which can be later sketched.

It is a Remote Viewing (RV) application that makes heavy use of the Google search engine. Remote Viewing is the practice of searching impressions about an unseen or distant target by using subjective means.

The software requires no installation, so you can easily use it on your favorite GNU/Linux operating system, if you have all of its runtime dependencies installed, of course (see the last section of our review for details).

Simply press the download button above to download the latest release. Save the archive on your Home directory and unpack it using an archive manager utility. Open a Terminal app, move to the location where you’ve extracted the archive file (e.g. cd /home/softpedia/PyRV).

Then, run the ‘python PyRV.py’ command to start the program. If you see some errors, make sure that the respective requirement is met. Its graphical user interface is quite intuitive and easy-to-use. Just select the image type, size and color, set the search filter, and download.

Being written in Python, the PyRV software can run on various computer operating systems. At the moment, it has been successfully tested on GNU/Linux (Ubuntu, Arch Linux) and Microsoft Windows (Windows 7) operating systems.

As its name might suggest, PyRV is a software written in the Python programming language. It uses various technologies, among which we can mention PIL (Python Imaging Library), Tkinter, SQLite and SimpleJson. Please note that both 32 and 64-bit computer platforms are supported.
