quinoid script

[Ben Wolfson]

Got bored, wrote the below.  
It opens a file with the same name as itself but with an extra '1' before
the .py extension, then deletes the file that created it.
Just wanted to point out how easy it was to write.


-----------FILE STARTS HERE---------
import os, sys

s = """
import os, sys

s = %c%c%c%s%c%c%c
open((sys.argv[0][:-3]+'1'+sys.argv[0][-3:]),'w').write(s %%
(34,34,34,s,34,34,34))
try:
	os.remove((sys.argv[0][:-4]+sys.argv[0][-3:]))
except:
	pass
"""
open((sys.argv[0][:-3]+'1'+sys.argv[0][-3:]),'w').write(s %
(34,34,34,s,34,34,34))
try:
	os.remove((sys.argv[0][:-4]+sys.argv[0][-3:]))
except:
	pass

Liberty is commonly thought of not as a constant, but as something which
must be made to expand indefinitely, lest it become boring.
