Python tutorial moment

How is this funny? 8 Upvotes at current writing???

It's kind of funny because it looks like it is nonsense dreamt up by a non-programmer. But it actually works.
- I thought it was poking fun at the tutorial saying instead of learning to code, import a library from someone who knows how to code.
- It's basically import antigravity
- python
  
  from Lemmy import Upvote from Fediverse import Posts from ActivityPub import Submit target_post = 'https://lemmy.ca/post/18691085' num_votes = 8 post = Posts.open(target_post) package = Upvote(post, num_votes) package.Submit(target_post)
  or something
- Good because I was confused. I’ve written similar code
Because this example isn't really programming, it's just calling an existing library. Which is the big joke about Python.
- OK that way I get why it could be considered funny.
It's funny because

from apps import facebook-killer as fb fb.start() // 3 million seed investment
- SyntaxError
My best guess is it's a play at the usual "all you do in python is import libraries without knowing how they work lololol" dig but yeah, I don't find it particularly funny either

This is exactly why we love Python (and other languages with rich package ecosystem, even when only on their niche usage cases). You can build upon other people's knowledge and effort to do cool things efficiently and effectively!

Hahaha now code-golf it. One line FTW!

remove(Image.open(‘cl.jpeg’)).save(‘output.png’)

If I find this in production I'm whipping your ballsack till you change it back.
- import("rembg").remove(import("PIL").Image.open(‘cl.jpeg’)).save(‘output.png’)
- Can i hire you?
- So I'm not going to change it
Code golf! I just learned something new 😂

  Enjoy a new rabbit hole to dive down
- You never heard of code Golf before? It's usually programming challenges where the goal is to use the smallest number of source code characters possible.

That reminds me back when some time ago, I was tired of dealing with sketchy, and often broken, websites and programs for downloading videos from Youtube. I figured these sorts of programs must be doing something along the lines of downloading the Youtube page, parsing through the massive pile of HTML and Javascript to find the stream, and then saving that to a video file. That seemed like something I could do myself with Python, so I set out to see if I could figure out how to do it.

A few minutes and a couple of web searches later, I discovered that someone else had figured that all out already and I just needed to do "pip install pytube".

Have you ever heard about yt-dl?
- yt-dlp
- I did switch over to yt-dlp some time later as development seems to have slowed on Pytube and yt-dlp seems to be where all the activity is.

There's a python library for everything

Goddamn i love python

*the libraries that are made for python

Remove seems like a terrible name for that method.

While yes, the true issue here is that, for some reason, the code only imports the remove method from the package, instead of importing the package and doing rembg.remove().
- if you only wanted to import remove you could maybe import as rembg_remove
  unless there's some weird taboo against doing that I don't know about, I'm an awful programmer tbh

Waiting for the “in one line” tutorial

No work in micropython on uno? pls help. Need thesis in Rust do tomorgh. Removed French bloat rm -fr catz tut. Why

Python is an illusion

All the best things in life are intangible.

I know this is a joke, but I totally wanna run the code and see what happens or what errors I get just for fun.

According to PyPI, the library is genuine.

Having a similar moment right now. I'm trying to figure out how to compute the transformation matrix for reflecting a bitmap of any given dimension across the y axis, but all the tutorials that come up in my search just tell me to import some python library. Its like nobody wants to learn how to do anything anymore.
