The bones of a nice Python script
- 1. Developing a nice template for new scripts
- 2. #!/usr/bin/python import sys import random def scramble(word): if len(word) < 4: return word innards = list(word[1:-1]) random.shuffle(innards) return word[0] + ''.join(innards) + word[-1] while 1: line = sys.stdin.readline() if not line: break sys.stdout.write(' '.join([scramble(w) for w in line.split()]) + '') In the beginning
- 3. Adding basic niceties #!/usr/bin/ env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import sys import random def scramble(word): if len(word) < 4: return word innards = list(word[1:-1]) random.shuffle(innards) return word[0] + ''.join(innards) + word[-1] def _main(): while 1: line = sys.stdin.readline() if not line: break sys.stdout.write(' '.join([scramble(w) for w in line.split()]) + '') return 0 if __name__ == "__main__": sys.exit(_main())
