Sierpinski's Carpet Generation

This is a fun little script was created as a solution to a problem on the dailyprogrammer subreddit community .

To run

It's a good practice to use virtualenvs to isolate package requirements. This script uses the following packages:

• attrs==17.2.0
• Pillow==4.3.0

Skip the following if you understand virtualenvs

Assuming you have python 3 (I am on 3.5 at the moment) you'll need to do the following. If you don't have python installed there are plenty of resources, or you can send me a message on twitter.

1. Create a virtualenv. This can be done with python -m venv nameofyourvirtualenv
2. Create an environment variable to get to bin or scripts directory in the virtualenv
3. Upgrade pip in said virtualenv with $ve\pip install --upgrade pip
4. Install requirements with $ve\pip install -r requirements.txt

Resume reading if you are skipping

To run the scripts you simply invoke them with the python executable in your venv. No parameters needed. Just watch out when you create a bmp. The script is still simplistic in that it just writes to the same file, so your new images will overwrite your old ones.

An example command is $ve\python sierpinski_0.3.py
