Just wrote a Python script to generate me a JSON file.

I forgot the 0th command line argument is the file you're running...

On first test it overwrote itself.

Insert *Congratulations, you played yourself* meme

Did work at least?

@CWins mostly 😛 there are a few issues still though

Is one of the issues the script no longer existing?

@IllSlapU yes, I can stop being an idiot and think first 😛

@Jamoyjamie It's like a Meeseeks - you tell it to do a (relatively) simple task, it does the task, and then disappears!

...unless you want it to help you get a stroke off your golf game. In that case it could multiply itself multiple times over, find you, and kill you.

I know you probably have seen it, but just in case, you know you can take a dictionary and just json.dumps() it, right? It's in the standard library.

@jallman112 I am doing 🙂

@Jamoyjamie Yay!

Sometimes it's fun to reinvent something to learn about it, sometimes you just want to get stuff done. Wasn't sure which route you were taking.

Good luck and have fun!

Git, use it. its fun :p

@theElectron I am doing, I tend to only commit when I've tested though to avoid committing syntax errors etc 😐

@Jamoyjamie Agreed. I've read to treat every commit as code which may end up in production.

Doesn't the script become read only when executing? Don't know, just asking.

@NuttLoose hmm, you'd expect it to but it doesn't 😐
