Wind up people that leave their computers unattended, they should probably learn if they haven't already!
Ever noticed how a greek question mark, ;
, looks a lot like a semicolon, ;
,
and thought that this little coincidence could play havoc with compiling and
running code?
Probably not, but we had. We also took it further than necessary, by changing a host of common operators and even more common characters to their indistinguishable doppelgangers. The idea being that after running MessWithDevs on someone else's code they will get a bunch, nay shittonne, of compiler errors and will have no idea why!
Cruel right? Well we thought so too, so we have added a reversing method so they don't lose their jobs. I know, boring, but probably for the best.
To start messing with people, install on their machine with
pip install MessWithDevs
Run the following command to break their code:
mwd _filename_
and the following to reverse it:
mwd _filename_ -r
.
If the file extension you are after is not in the list, you can specify it with
the -e
flag:
mwd _filename_ -e .exe
,
this flag must also be on when doing the reverse process.
Simple.
Enjoy!
This only works for python version 3.* unless you want to figure out a way to make it work with older versions, but why would anyone use 2.* anyway?
