Fancifypy

Are you tired of boring Python code? Or do you want to make a real impression with your next PR? Look no further! Fancifypy will transform any plain and boring Python code into a feast for the eyes.

pipx run fancifypy code "print(range(5))" --seed 42

ｐᵣⁱⁿｔ ( ᵣ𝙖𝕟ᵍ𝐞 ( 5 ) )

Alternatively, you can fancify files directly

pipx run fancifypy path script.py

and defancified files (if you for some reason want boring files again)

pipx run fancifypy boring script.py

Note that fancifypy leaves somewhat odd whitespaces, so we reccommend using Ruff or Black afterwards to format the code.

Is this safe?

Fancifypy checks that the abstract syntax tree doesn't change after fancifying, so this is 100% safe (for CPython). This means that any code that imported your code before fancifying will also work with it after fancifying with no modifications.

How does this work?

When CPython looks up identifiers, it first normalizes the code using "NFKC" normalization. This program detects identifiers in a Python file and replaces all character with a different character that normalizes to it. So for Python, there is no change in the files.
