Ever heard of Black? This is the opposite. A tool to turn your clean python code into a hideous (working) mess.
- Turn all comments into lines from My Little Pony.
- Turn all your variable names into a mixture of pony names and horribly similar looking characters like "Twilight_Dash_0OO0O".
- Code still runs after all these improvements! 👷
Before:
# function that adds two numbers
def addition(a: int, b: int) -> int:
# find sum
result = a + b
# return the sum
return result
if __name__ == '__main__':
print("Sum of 1 and 3 is %s" % addition(1, 3))After:
# He didn't have to say it.
def shy_shy_aααaa(Vinyl_Vinyl_IlΙIΙΙ: int, Rainbow_Rainbow_Ill1lΙ: int) -> int:
# They will make a splashtastic escape using only the instructions we give them... with our minds.
scout_scout_scout_αaαaa = Vinyl_Vinyl_IlΙIΙΙ + Rainbow_Rainbow_Ill1lΙ
# What is this place?
return scout_scout_scout_αaαaa
if __name__ == '__main__':
print("Sum of 1 and 3 is %s" % shy_shy_aααaa(1, 3))Simply run pip install git+https://github.com/leetfin/prancer.git and then use the prance command line tool.
usage: prance [-h] [--version] -f ./FILE_PATH.py [-y]
Ever heard of Black? This is the opposite.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--version show program's version number and exit
-f ./FILE_PATH.py, --file ./FILE_PATH.py
Python file to be prance'd.
-y, --yolo Overwrite original file, lol.
So if you have a python file at ./test.py, you simply run prance -f ./test.py
The key tool we use is the standard tokenizer module in python. It allows us to tokenize any python script which then in turn makes substituting comments and variable names fairly simple.

Bug reports, fixes and additional features are always welcome! Make sure to run the tests with python setup.py test and write your own for new features. Thanks.
