Pick-A-Mod Source Code

Posted by le717 , in Triangular Minifigure Blog 19 January 2013 · 155 views

Since I had one interested party in the Pick-A-Mod source code, and since there really is no harm in releasing it (and any programmer can figure out how to remake it in any language they know), the Pick-A-Mod source code is in a spoiler below. . I made some minor changes to it, such as converting it for both Python 2.7.3 and 3.3, and added the ability to quit the while loop by pressing q. The code is pretty self-explanatory, so I did not leave any comments. Enjoy.

# Pick-A-Mod, by le717.

import random, webbrowser, sys

def main():
    sys.stdout.write("Welcome to Pick-A-Mod!")
    start = get_input("Press 'b' to begin: ")

    if start.lower() == "b":
        PickMe()

    else:
        raise SystemExit

staff = ["Cyrem", "Addictgamer", "antillies", "Cirevam", "Amauros", "apemax", "Oboe Shoes"]

def PickMe():
    sys.stdout.write("\n\n")
    sys.stdout.write(random.choice(staff))
    sys.stdout.write("\n")

    answer = get_input("Does this selection please you? " + r"y\N ")

    if answer.lower() == "y":
        webbrowser.open("http://www.rockraidersunited.org/index.php?app=members&module=messaging&section=send&do=form", new=2, autoraise=True)

    elif answer.lower() == "q":
        raise SystemExit
    else:
        PickMe()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    if sys.version_info >= (3,0):
        # Use Python 3 input
        get_input = input
        main()
    else:
        # Use Python 2 input
        get_input = raw_input
        main()

Well, since we're playing at how many lines we can do this in...

import random, webbrowser
#you really don't need to alias an import if you're only using it once

raw_input("Welcome to Pick-A-Mod!\nPress anything to begin: ")
staff = ("Cyrem", "Addictgamer", "antillies", "Cirevam", "Amauros", "apemax", "Oboe Shoes")
while True:
   if  raw_input(random.choice(staff)+"\nThis is good, yes?").lower() in ['', 'y', 'yes']: break
   else: pass
webbrowser.open_new_tab("http://www.rockraidersunited.org/index.php?app=members&module=messaging&section=send&do=form")

You can use &fromMemberID=IDNUMBERHERE to add the name into the Recipient Name field.
Of course, you'd need to add their user ID numbers into it to do that.

I knew there was some URL trick to do that, just couldn't figure it out!

Oh look, the perfect opportunity to use a dictionary.

The Zen of Python

//Lines 2 and 3 only
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.

You line all your code up on a few lines, I spread it out. You have a few implied statements, I have explicitly stated them. When I write code, a tutorial, or anything, I strive for neat, understandable text that can be read easily. My source shows that. However, I'm not going to bonk you over the head saying to code the same way as I, since we are all different, and everyone has their own style.
