Did you have a particular one in mind? I've never done it before but would be willing to learn if it wasn't a lot of work and made the program easier to get for people who'd appreciate it.
I’m not sure, most package managers I think about might not be suitable for a standalone tool. (Conda or Pip for example, I THINK they are only suitable for frameworks and libraries, but am not really sure).
One that i know that is suitable for standalone tools is homebrew. You could also loot at system specific package managers and/or repositories for linux distributions. But honestly I dont know how any of them work in terms of publication. I just use them to download software or libraries myself, and think it would be cool to have a tool like that in “POP OS” for example, which is the system I am using currently searched for ansii editors in it but there does not seem to be any in the store. But personally I dont know if it would be useful or easy for you to put your tool there. I would just be glad in general if it where in homebrew or flatpak repositories. But homebrew could be more usefull as it is available for Linux and macOS.
I think getting it into something like the Arch Linux AUR might be possible! Pretty much all you have to do is write a PKGBUILD (You should not have to be a part of the arch team to do so. This is the Arch USER Repository for a reason.)

Hi JP,
Today I tried to install & launch Playscii, But it stopped with the folloming error :
File "/home/xxx/playscii_source-9.17.1/playscii/playscii.py", line 429, in set_icon
img = img.resize((32, 32), Image.ANTIALIAS)
AttributeError: module 'PIL.Image' has no attribute 'ANTIALIAS'
After checking on StackOverflow, it seems the attribute has been suppressed in the recent versions of PIL.Image. Check https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76616042/attributeerror-module-pil-image-has... for more information. In a nutshell, you should replace "Image.ANTIALIAS" by "PIL.Image.LANCZOS"
Best wishes for this coming year !
Any chance to put this project in a package manager?

Just want to say thank you, I love this program, it's so much fun it's so versatile it's amaaaaaazing!
