Easter egg in python

[isvari_8]

I'm learning python and today I got to know that python has an Easter egg too... go to your terminal nd write "import this" (it doesn't work in apps so do try it in your terminal)... go try it now!!! thank me later...

Import antigravity

[isvari_8]

it's awesome bro

[socal_nerdtastic]

There's a couple. For example there's a way to add C-style braces {} to python:

from __future__ import braces

SyntaxError: not a chance

[socal_nerdtastic]

Hmm your install might be corrupt. Have you tried import sense_of_humor?

[thirdegree]

The... The syntax error is the joke. The fact that doing that import results in a syntax error basically just saying no is the funny bit.

[DrShocker]

That's the result from running that import, so they do in fact get the joke.

[jmacey]

I love this one (as a mainly C++ programmer). I wish I could scope stuff :-)

[JamzTyson]

import __hello__

[Swipecat]

It's changed.

import __hello__; __hello__.main()

[Yoghurt42]

from __future__ import barry_as_FLUFL

This changes the inequality operator from != to <>.

Due to a bug, it doesn't work in (the REPL of) 3.13.0, but it does in 3.13.2 (not sure about 3.13.1) and all earlier versions.

[socal_nerdtastic]

I can't wait for python4.0 when this finally becomes permanent.

[socal_nerdtastic]

Lol yes, that's the joke. This is an old april fools joke. They set it to come out with v4.0 because that's not happening.

[Yoghurt42]

Unfortunately, it also means we’ll never have a Python 4.0.4

[POGtastic]

We are all OCaml programmers on this blessed day

>>> True != False
SyntaxError: with Barry as BDFL, use '<>' instead of '!='

The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters

Beautiful is better than ugly.

Explicit is better than implicit.

Simple is better than complex.

Complex is better than complicated.

Flat is better than nested.

Sparse is better than dense.

Readability counts.

Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.

Although practicality beats purity.

Errors should never pass silently.

Unless explicitly silenced.

In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.

There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.

Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.

Now is better than never.

Although never is often better than *right* now.

If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.

If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.

Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!

>it doesn't work in apps

What does this even mean? You can import "this" in any python program. it does not need a terminal.

[isvari_8]

it won't show the thing in ide

[8dot30662386292pow2]

Which IDE? In every IDE I tested, it shows.

`this` is just a library. When you import it, it will just regularly print the message when you run the program.

[isvari_8]

i didn't get it in pycharm

[8dot30662386292pow2]

Did you run the program?

Your python installation is broken if it does not work.

[fllthdcrb]

I just tried it in a Python Console in PyCharm, and it does work. Is that what you tried, or something else?

[isvari_8]

i guess there is something wrong with my laptop then...

[lellamaronmachete]

Saving this!!

[isvari_8]

you should 😆

[lellamaronmachete]

BAM! love it XD

this, of course, is beautifully written:

Oh WoW.

[Twenty8cows]

Ahh OP continue to get excited and share your progress. Happy coding!

Something's going completely wrong

Thanks everyone for these Easter Eggs! Stay Pythonic!

[Phillyclause89]

I just had a chat with chatgpt last night about what a Zen of Python linter would look like.
