I made the mistake of also implementing keyboard and mouse monitoring---you know, so I could write automated tests for the input parts!---and over the years it has turned into an endless source of feature requests, bug reports and also general questions about the Python programming language and its ecosystem.

Input events truly are horrible to provide a platform independent abstraction over, but in the end seeing people use it, make YouTube tutorials and discuss it on Stack Overflow make it worth the time spent.

The letters are completely different in pronunciation: with one dot, it's like the English letter B, and with two it's either like Y or the pronunciation of double E.

It appears that the laws where I live are quite similar to those in Estonia in this aspect, and I have never heard of any real abuse.

But the other problem in the US is that we don't have just one culture. Anyone who talks in public advocates the same pack-it-out approach to trash. That's the practice in the self-consciously outdoorsy subculture. But the people who leave trash in public campgrounds, I suspect anyway, live in an entirely different world with no realistic communication channels between them. Application to national politics is left as an exercise.

Really? I'm not saying you're wrong, but it's much easier for me to think of counterexamples than supporting examples. Hikers leave garbage on trails all the time. Even dog owners let their pets leave little presents for other people to take care of. I love right to roam laws, but I can see the other side too. I think we have to weigh the tradeoffs and accept that there's a cost—one that may be outweighed by the benefits, surely—not deny that any costs exist.

My reading of the text is that the one actually selling the software product is the one having to abide by this law. Am I incorrect?

How could this be negative? I presume that most publishers of open source software would prefer that some Silicon Valley Unicorn did _not_ half-heartedly integrate their library, causing security issues and tainting their library name?

Like the linked application, it supports triangular, rectangular and hexagonal grids, and different generation algorithms, which can be combined for various areas of the final maze. It also supports background and mask images to colourise rooms and provide a shape for the maze, as well as a small selection of effects to apply. The output format is either SVG or PNG.

And for that extra HN cred, it's written in Rust (which you are free to ignore if you're not into RIIR, but this is in fact a rewrite of an earlier Python project of mine)!

(download and open with a browser/SVG viewer)

The invocation to generate that was:

    ./maze-maker --width=50 --height=50 --method braid,branching,winding out.svg

For anyone who can't render SVG in their head :)

I guess today's lesson is: do promote your personal project even when it's semi-arsed, because people on the Internet are mostly kind and will help you improve your documentation!

--method <METHOD> The initialisation method to use

In the mean time, have a look here[1] for the possible values.

  use clap::{Parser, ValueEnum};

  #[derive(ValueEnum, Debug, Clone)]
  pub enum Foo {
    Bar,
    Baz,
  }

  #[derive(Parser, Debug)]
  #[command(author, version, about, long_about = None)]
  pub struct Args {
    /// description
    #[arg(short = 'f', long = "foo", value_enum, default_value = "bar")]
    foo: Foo,
  }

  -f, --foo <FOO>  description [default: bar] [possible values: bar, baz]

A long time ago I maintained a fascination with this, during which I made an application to interactively explore a labyrinth using animated auto-stereograms.

If this tickles your fancies, you can find the code here: https://github.com/moses-palmer/InAmazing3D. Please keep in mind that it apparently hasn't been touched in ten years, and the project used Code::Blocks, so if you want to try it, you will probably have to create Makefiles. If you enjoy this kind of thing, it's worth it though, as you get to control a ball moving through a labyrinth!
