# ROSSINI
RandOmized diScuSsIoN group leader selectIon
---
Tired of always being short of volunteers for paper club? Tired of always leading group discussion despite having class and teaching
responsibilities? Look no further. _ROSSINI_ is a simple randomizer that, given a list of people... randomly selects one!
However, you can initialize the probability distribution as a "tiered" uniform distribution, allocating a higher
likelihood of being slected to folks in a certain tier (such as those who aren't teaching, for example). No more excuses!
Simply throw the folks' names in a file (such as `people.dat`) and run `rossini.py`. By default, the previous
leaders are stored in a file (such as `people_old.dat`). We have the option, then, to remove the
previous discussion leader from the distribution prior to computing the weights.
To do so, simply set the flag `REMOVE_PREV = True` at the top of `rossini.py`. No one wants to get stuck leading multiple times
in a row.
Example distribution:
Currently, it's just a semi-uniform probability distribution where the weights in each "tier" proportional to each other
by some factor `f = 3.0/4.0`.
# Code Style
Code linting and formatting is done with [ruff](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/).
Rules are listed in [ruff.toml](ruff.toml).
To check all python in the current directory, you may `ruff .`.
To format a given file according to `ruff.toml`, run `ruff format file.py`.
Checks for formatting are performed on each push / PR.
