How much better would this project be, maintained using itself? 🐶

Can you commit to it?

This is the error I keep getting

UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u0399' in position 54: character maps to

Lancer is working for me with simpler programs but breaks and gives me the error on more complex programs
And the example program does not even work it just gives me the error

here is the example I tried

-- start of program --

function that adds two numbers

def addition(a: int, b: int) -> int:

# find sum
result = a + b

# return the sum
return result

if name == 'main':
print("Sum of 1 and 3 is %s" % addition(1, 3))

-- end of program --

I'm using python 3.9.7
and running it on windows 10

Why is lancer source code not lancer'ed???

If I run lancer on any of my projects with the normal lance -f .\somthing.py It just prints out:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 602-603: character maps to <undefined>
Anyone got a solution for that?

Why lancer? Hoping for some deep lore.

I suppose others might ask "why pitbull?" but I think I understand the genius already.

Hi!

I'd love to use this tool to obfuscate some challenges I'm working on, and I'd love to have comments too.
However, every time I tried to obfuscate with comments, most lyrics had NSFW vibes that I don't think would fit the academic environment.

Any chance you could create an SFW flag when 'lancing' files? Thank you so much!

It would be helpful for the readme to specify limitations.
For example I tried lance on the following example program and it broke it:

class Solution:
    def part1(self):
        print("AOC 1 Part 1")
    def part2(self):
        print("AOC 1 Part 2")

sol = Solution()
for i in [1, 2]:
    getattr(sol, f"part{i}")()

When trying to lance lancer itself I stumbled upon following output:

def snarl_Il11l1 (chirp_chirp_chirp_aααaa :Path ="./file.py",roar_αaaαa :bool =hoot_IIΙΙIΙ ):

which was generated from line 69 (nice) in src/lancer/entry.py:

def lance(file : Path = "./file.py", yolo : bool = False):

Here, the default value of the argument yolo=False was lanced which breaks the code.

Basically the suggesion in this reddit comment

From this article:

Python always applies NFKC
normalization to characters. Therefore, two distinct characters may actually
produce the same variable name. For example:

>>> ª = 1 # FEMININE ORDINAL INDICATOR
>>> a # LATIN SMALL LETTER A (i.e., ASCII lowercase 'a')
1

I've generated a mapping of these characters taken from this url.
The mapping can be found here. But beware that some characters may not be supported in python because I haven't tested every one of them.

I suggest adding another additional flag to enable this behaviour

I would have done it myself and opened a pr but I am too busy at the moment
