StackOverflow Importer

======================

Do you ever feel like all you’re doing is copy/pasting from Stack

Overflow?

Let’s take it one step further.

| ``from stackoverflow import quick_sort`` will go through the search

  results

| of ``[python] quick sort`` looking for the largest code block that

  doesn’t

| syntax error in the highest voted answer from the highest voted

  question

| and return it as a module. If that answer doesn’t have any valid

  python

| code, it checks the next highest voted answer for code blocks.

.. code:: python

    >>> from stackoverflow import quick_sort, split_into_chunks

    >>> print(quick_sort.sort([1, 3, 2, 5, 4]))

    [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

    

    >>> print(list(split_into_chunks.chunk("very good chunk func")))

    ['very ', 'good ', 'chunk', ' func']

    

    >>> print("I wonder who made split_into_chunks", split_into_chunks.__author__)

    I wonder who made split_into_chunks https://stackoverflow.com/a/35107113

    

    >>> print("but what's the license? Can I really use this?", quick_sort.__license__)

    but what's the license? Can I really use this? CC BY-SA 3.0

    >>> assert("nice, attribution!")

This module is licensed under whatever license you want it to be as 

long as the license is compatible with the fact that I blatantly 

copied multiple lines of code from the Python standard library.
