Bacon

A tool to find the shortest path between two actors.

Project Setup

Setup is fairly standard for a python project. Most of the dependencies you need should already be available (assuming you are using Python 2.7). I would advise setting up a virtual environment, though it is by no means necessary.

1. pip install -r requirements.txt

Testing

Tests are implemented using Python's built-in unittest library, and code coverage metrics are obtained using the coverage library.

Unit Tests

1. python tests.py

Coverage

1. coverage run tests.py
2. coverage report -m

Usage

Contextual help is available via python run.py --help or python run.py <command> --help, but there are two main commands:

1. python run.py import [directory]

   • Import JSON files from [directory]. Defaults to ./films
   • Files are assumed to be of the following format {'film': {'name': <name>}, 'cast': [{'name': <name>}, ...]

2. python run.py search actor [target_actor]

   • Find the path of actors and movies from actor to [target_actor]. If [target_actor] is not specified, Kevin Bacon be used by default.
