example.py

Link to example.py

example.py is a standalone Python script that demonstrates the functionality of the chatterpy_mistral package. It calls each of the package’s functions: fun facts, small talk, banter, pickup lines, and compliments.

This script is separate from the CLI interface in that it can be run directly with Python, and is intended for demonstration or testing purposes, rather than as a command-line tool for user input.
