You can also invoke coding assistant as a python wrapper so that even errors happening in the compile phase (ie bad imports and the likes) will be handeled by coding assistant.

$ coding-assistant bad_import.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "~/.local/bin/coding-assistant", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(cli())
  File "~/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/coding_assistant/cli.py", line 23, in cli
    exec(f.read(), {
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'nonexistant_module'

Q&A

Is it possible to have other, maybe custom, assistants?

Not at the moment but if you can draw ascii art please submit a PR.

Will this package break try except blocks?

No it only changes the way exceptions are printed not the actual exception.

Is this code "production ready"?

Don't.

Will you get sued by Microsoft?

Hopefully my ascii art is ugly enough that I can claim it's an original character.
