convert_tab_to_csv.py

Used to avoid quote-related parsing errors

A command-line invoked, very verbose, tab-delimited-to-csv-delimited file converter that outputs all lines to STDOUT to make its changes transparent. Includes representative strings with escape characters printed. Encapsulates all fields in double-quotes to avoid SQL/Excel parsing mistakes when commas are present in field values.

Module (pydoc) instructions:

"""Converts a tab delimited file to a CSV
BASH FORMAT: $ python convert_tab_to_csv.py input_file.txt output_file.csv
Will OVERWRITE existing output file if one is present.
NOTE: Will wrap fields in quotes to prevent comma-interference if
      commas exist within fields"""

rpn.py

A very useless reverse-polish notation calculator script

Also stores ongoing expressions as you calculate. This calculator was made as part of a workshop exercise

---

word_sentence_char_counter.py

Saved to preserve the elegant character-by-character parsing logic

solved*.py

Various kata that were tricky for myself or others

Emphasis on robust, not compact, solutions
