Holy hell, nice Area 51 meta post @lyxal. You really blew the consensus for PLD&I out of thin air with that lawyer-level proposal.

So I have a suggestion for how to improve this answer... where do I put it?
The standard of answer "in the comments/replies/whatever" doesn't work because you need 50 rep to do that, and I don't.

If you'd like, I can send a picture of me clicking on "Add a comment" and it says "You need 50 reputation to do that".
I think it means 50 CGSE rep, it probably says I have 70 rep here because it's including some rep from the rpg stackexchange

Alternatively, it's generally fine to post it yourself. The user who posted that answer has been inactive for three months.

how substantial is the improvement
like is it a handful of basic golfs or is it some serious insight that happens to use a shared skeleton
oh i see your comment
yeah wow that's... hard to make a call on lmao

is that intended?

Oh I see
Wait your code isn't actually valid, it's missing any kind of whitespace between the class and it's name
because the way tripple quoted strings are parsed
This works though: tio.run/…

Fan of using a literal tab inside a regex

underscore at the start of class names
is that a problem?

Oh and lower case letters at the start of class names
I'm just going to enforce proper python class name conventions :)

Looking good
I can't think of anything else that could be a problem with the regex so hopefully that'll be good to go too
oh nevermind I have
unicode normalisation

... well that's not going to be able to be fixed easily
 
lyxal

unicodedata.normalize
normalise the string before you regex search it
very simple
 
mousetail
mousetail
What if the class name contains Unicode symbols? Will it match when I assign it
 
lyxal
lyxal
exec would also normalise right?
 
mousetail
mousetail
Well if I normalize before exec that would also effect the contents of strings etc. and effect the behavior of the code potentially

no I mean exec itself would normalise, wouldn't it?

A: Does Python forbid two similarly looking Unicode identifiers?

MarkPEP 3131 -- Supporting Non-ASCII Identifiers says All identifiers are converted into the normal form NFKC while parsing; comparison of identifiers is based on NFKC. You can use unicodedata to test the conversions: import unicodedata unicodedata.normalize('NFKC', '𝑓') # f which would in...

A: Tips for restricted source in Python

Luis MendoAvoid "normal" letters Identifiers are normalized by the Python 3 parser. This implies that cursive (Unicode) letters such as 𝓪𝓫𝓬𝓓𝓔𝓕 are interpreted as their ASCII-compliant equivalents abcDEF. So the following code works (as was exploited here): 𝓝=123 𝓹𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓽(𝓝) Python versions in wh...

@UnrelatedString Honestly, I'm not so sure. I can't find a good way to do string concatenation, or input strings from cin.
Unless you mean in the context of Minecraft itself what can be done (ie make boss fights, dungeons, arenas, etc.) then yeah, it's getting very impressive though there's still some features missing. Typically I say "there's no way to deal a custom amount of damage to players", but with the /damage command (upcoming either 1.19.4 or 1.20) that's changing.
