thank ye

@quartata What is the recommend way to install PCRE? (on ubuntu now)

aptitude install libpcre3-dev is what I did I think

Haha, yeah I just got that

I should wait longer before crying for help, haha

Well hey, the uncompressed mode I was hoping to add is already there, haha

I should have just used TIO

Wait, it is?

I never added that

What do you mean?

Wait a second...

Oh, I forgot that I made local commits, haha

@quartata Would you be against using a library like docopts? I used it for V and am very happy with it so far

No, that's fine.

OK kewl

@quartata What's a good sample program to test?

Run python3 tests.py to make sure things aren't on fire first

Then I'd try fHello, %s here!Cinnamon Gum

Ok, things are definitely on fire. haha

What failed?

If you have the fork on GH I can look

Just some silly typos.

I don't understand what's going on

Myes?

Here, let me commit so I can show you

execute is kind of regex hell, I know. I'll add comments

I'm not even touching that yet. I'm just messing with main

Most of the regexs are just of the form (?<![^\\]\\)<char> so that I know they aren't escaped

@DJMcMayhem Oh, all right

So what's going wrong

I made a minor change that shouldn't change any logic, but it breaks the tests

Alright, check out this diff

That shouldn't break anything?

> mode = string[0]

The variable name is misleading

It's a bitstring

You need chr I think

Oh. doi

@quartata Do any of the scripts call cinnamon-compressor.py at all?

Or is it just for human use?

No. cinnamon-compressor is a utility for the user to use

OK. I wanna rename it so that tab autocomplete works better

haha

Oh, sorry :P

You could rename it to just compressor if it really bothers you, I won't mind

So string is a bitstring... Does that mean execute expects a bitstring?

Nope, execute takes a regular string

decompress returns a regular string

ew, just noticed this: "".join(map(chr, decompressed_code))

I'm not sure why I did that...

hahaha

Actually i don't think I did that. I think that was from the original Bubblegum

Dang it Dennis.

He's the one who made beautiful things like this:

s = [[10, r + 32][r < 95]] + s

I still don't know what that does and I'm scared to change it

I guess it's his way of doing a ternary?

So s = ([r + 32] if r < 95 else [10]) + s?

That sounds like a good summary of most of the code I have seen from dennis (since I see his golfs more than his regular code)

@quartata Yeah, but + s

His regular code is more or less just golfed code but with whitespace.

Alright, so I've extinguished all the fires, but now when I try to run fHello from %s!Cinnamon gum, it prompts me for input, then prints b'#

WTH?

Oh wait, nvmd

Yeah, you have to CTRL-D

Since it'll only take ! input if STDIN is exhausted

So, now I'm getting a traceback

It seems like it's trying to eval the input

Oh, crap. That should be in quotes in the docs

Single or double?

either

It uses ast.literal_eval

Ok, so this is really weird. If I remove the trailing newline, it says Syntax Error: EOL while scanning string literal but if I leave it in it says SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character

Wha?

¯\_(;_;)_/¯

Do you want me to push so you can see?

I have to eat but then sure

OK, I just pushed

I'm probably done for now. Let me know if you figure it out

Oh, and you will need to pip install docopt

It works on mine so it must be something in your changes

Right off the bat this has to be a problem:

> code = str(string) if args['-u'] else decompress(string)

I think you meant str(string[1:])

But that wouldn't cause this I don't think

@DJMcMayhem

Ooooh, yeah that makes sense

@DJMcMayhem make sure to add your dependency to .travis.yml

@quartata OK cool, I'll make sure to do that. I've never used YAML before, but I'm sure I could figure it out. I'll probably submit the PR sometime later today
