Lord of the Pythons!!

Publish Date: Sep 18 '20

My Workflow

So, you like Lord of the Rings, right? Every developer likes LotR, right? Don't you wish that more of your code had variables named after LotR characters? Right? RIGHT?!

What about if you could actually get PAID for replacing the variable names in your code with LotR names? Wouldn't that be AWESOME?!

The wait is over... the ULTIMATE Github Action is here.

When you push code to a Github repo this action goes through all .py files it can find, parses them with an AST and pulls out the variable names. It then cross references them against LotR characters... and if you have increased the number of variables named after LotR characters in this set of commits then you are immediately paid an amount of XRP for your devotion and love.

Lord of the Pythons

What?

A Github Action that analyses Python code and detects new variables named after LotR characters and a workflow that pays developers as a reward.

When you push code to a Github repo it goes through all .py files it can find, parses them with an AST and pulls out the variable names. It then cross references them against LotR characters... and if you have increased the number of variables named after LotR characters in this set of commits then you are immediately paid an amount of XRP for your devotion and love.

This action was created for the DEV: Github Actions hackathon.

As you might image, it is for the "Wacky" category.

It utilises the Automatically pay Contributors in XRP via PayId that was also developer by myself for this same hackathon.

Why?!

Developers love fantasy like Lord of The Rings, right? Developers like…

This action utilises another action that I have developed for this hackathon, payid_xrp_action which has it's own entry.
