A Fortune clone in Python

Project description

Python Fortune

A simple self-contained clone of fortune. Try it out with cowsay!

Install

pip install fortune-python

Usage

CLI

Currently, a fortune command line program is added on install.

fortune

This will select a random fortune. Adding the fortune command line arguments is planned later.

Programmatic

To use this package, import the fortune function and call:

from fortune import fortune

print(fortune())

This will produce a random fortune.

Notes

The fortune data for this package is taken from fortune-mod. Please see the datfiles directory in this repo for their corresponding license.

The offensive fortunes in the 'off' directory are not included in this Python package. However, the fortunes provided in this package are otherwise provided as they were in the original fortune-mod repository. I do not take responsibility for the content of these fortunes.
