myman 0.12.0

myman: Sequence of posts by Kevin Kruse starting with 'My man ...'

Motivation

Starting on the afternoon of July 17, 2026, and lasting for one initial week, Kevin Kruse fired off an astonishing array of over six hundred ninety eight BlueSky replies to an initial post of his featuring a certain government figure. Additional waves followed: two (August 12, 2026), three (August 17, 2026), four (August 27, 2026), five (August 30, 2026), six (September 4, 2026), seven (September 12, 2026), eighth (Septemer 16, 2026), nine (October 1, 2026), ten (October 4, 2026), eleven (October 9, 2026), twelve (October 14, 2026). The total now stands at two thousand one hundred eighty four one posts.

All posts start with "My man ..." and make for excellent input to a fortunes-like package. So this small package obliges and offers a random draw each time its myman() function is called. This Python package benefits from the corresponding R package and uses the csv file created and packaged there.

The Python package is equivalent to the R in its core aspect but each call will only return one post. The R package also has two auxiliary functions.

Example

The simple file main.py illustrates three calling examples with (numeric) index, target, or topical index.

$ ./main.py
