abomination 0.2.0

A dumpster fire of metaprogramming and other Python abuses.

abomination

A dumpster fire of metaprogramming and other Python abuses.

Some code is so bad it just has to be written, documented, tested, and packaged. This is the place for such ideas.

Installation

Install the package from pypi:

pip install abomination

Usage

Automatic installation of packages

Somewhere before your first third-party import, but the following line:

import abomination; abomination.magic()

If an import fails, we will try to install the package with pip and restart the script.

import abomination; abomination.magic()

# This just works!
import numpy as np

Of course, this only works if the import name matches the distribution name. Prepare for an ugly recursion while Python screams "I cannot import pyyaml!" and pip shouts back "But I have already installed pyyaml!" (note: the import name is yaml).

Calling out code style you don't like

Linters are for the weak, real checks hit hard at run time! Following the example of Python's treatment of whitespace, code style violations raise a SyntaxError if you call call_out:

import abomination

abomination.call_out(sadface=True)

# Some dummy code to provoke
if (
    this_code_uses_some_practices_that_i_dislike := True
    and others_should_know_about_it := True
):
    pass

Output:

SyntaxError: It saddens me to see '):' in your code :(

This function, just like the whole package, is intended as a light-hearted joke. It was inspired by this twitter thread: https://twitter.com/gvanrossum/status/1395135889123069952 If anyone involved feels offended, please contact me and I will remove it.
