tried this plugin but it unfortunately failes with:
File"/home/xxx/.config/variety/plugins/fortune_variety_quotes.py", line 22, in get_random
q = fortune.split('--')
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'
How can I fix this?
Hey, @goodevilgenius, would you mind if I include this as a built-in quotes plugin in Variety?
Please check varietywalls/variety#263
@peterlevi No problem at all. Looks great!

for Chinese users:
We can use the
fortune-zhprogram to get Tang or Song poetry. However its output is colorful with string like\033[32m, so we should remove it:中文用户：
可以使用
fortune-zh来随机生成唐诗宋词，不过这个输出是带颜色的，终端的颜色使用类似\033[32m的字符串来控制的，因此我们可以使用上面的代码段来去除这些额外的字符。
