Write a "Mad Libs" program that will read a given file and prompt the user for the parts of speech indicated in angle brackets, e.g., <verb>, replacing those values and printing the new text a la the beloved "Mad Libs" game.
For example, the input file might look like this:
$ cat inputs/fox.txt
The quick <adjective> <noun> jumps <preposition> the lazy <noun>.
When run with this input, the program would prompt the user for "adjective," "noun," etc. When all the answers have been collected, the new text will be printed:
$ ./mad.py inputs/fox.txt
Give me an adjective: scary
Give me a noun: chair
Give me a preposition: behind
Give me a noun: sky
The quick scary chair jumps behind the lazy sky.
In order to test, the program should also accept all the values as -i or --inputs:
$ ./mad.py inputs/fox.txt -i scary chair behind sky
The quick scary chair jumps behind the lazy sky.
If provided no arguments, the program should print a brief usage:
$ ./mad.py
usage: mad.py [-h] [-i [str [str ...]]] FILE
mad.py: error: the following arguments are required: FILE
Or a longer usage for -h or --help:
$ ./mad.py -h
usage: mad.py [-h] [-i [str [str ...]]] FILE
Mad Libs
positional arguments:
FILE Input file
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-i [str [str ...]], --inputs [str [str ...]]
Inputs (for testing) (default: None)
Run the test suite to ensure your program is working correctly:
$ make test
pytest -xv test.py
