You granted me access to push updates to the cowsay PyPI package, and I uploaded v2.0 about 5 months ago. Lots of demos in https://github.com/pipxproject/pipx depend on cowsay. Recently it looks like v2.0 was erased. Should I stop relying on this version and just start a new one? cowsay is nice as a "hello world" package to test that tools are working, so hopefully it can remain with a valid console entry point.

A cool feature that allows users to create their own custom characters and send them to get_output_string() and be able to see their messages being poped up by their custom-designed characters. Like a make such a thing:

my_worm = r'''
\
  \  _
    ("\
     ) )
    ( /
'''
print(cowsay.get_output_string(my_worm 'So much dust here..'))

Hi, I'm using cowsay in CI/CD pipelines for simple tests of pip install operations (it's simple, nice and small pip package). I've noticed, that is stopped supporting --version argument since this change:
d06699c#diff-d50c47c0e59afa8da1116cdf88561a90b9e484a5fbfdd7b14cf32f6e4ba2dcb5L82

Could you please add it back?

I have an issue about cowsay 2.0 in python，the ascii art is not alignd in Python command line. Like the picture below:

• OS version: Microsoft Windows 10 version 1803
• Python version:Python 3.7.2
• cowsay version: cowsay.about() version ---> 2.0

I believe this project would benefit from providing some means of outputing cowsay as a string return value. For example, in my fork, cowsay.cow would return a string instead of printing to the console.

My fork: 24352a7

The reason I did that is so my discord bot can send cowsays in chats.

It would be great if cowsay command-line tool supported piping into it, eg.

echo Hello, world! | cowsay

As a simple way to implement it, you could use a different command-line switch (eg. -c or --) for pipe input, or syntax like -t -
