snarky 0.0.1

Snarky adds a 'jk' (just kidding!) keyword argument to any function.

Snarky is a useless Python package that makes it easy to add a jk (just kidding!) keyword argument to any function. Moreover, snarky defines several default behaviors for reacting whenever jk==True.

Quick examples

Using snarky is really easy. Suppose we have a function:

def my_fun(a, b):
    """Sample function with arguments."""
    return a*b

Then calling our function might look like this:

>>> my_func(4, 5)
20

>>> my_func(a=3, b=7)
21

>>> my_func(a=3, b=7, jk=True)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-143-231ea24720af> in <module>()
----> 1 my_func(a=3, b=7, jk=True)

TypeError: my_func() got an unexpected keyword argument 'jk'

But that’s lame! What function doesn’t give you the option to say ‘just kidding!’, right?

That’s where snarky shines!

Simply add one of several default behaviors, or even define your own! Here, we will apply the default snarky behavior to our function:

from snarky import *

@snarky
def my_fun(a, b):
    """Sample function with arguments."""
    return a*b

Now calling our function might look like this:

>>> my_func(4, 5)
20

>>> my_func(a=3, b=7)
21

>>> my_func(a=3, b=7, jk=True)
LOL! Then why are you asking me to run 'my_func'? Unbelievable!
21

And the day is saved.
