Loqi [indienews] New post: "Send a Webmention in 10 (or fewer) lines of Python code" https://jamesg.blog/2022/10/21/send-webmention-in-python/
#
capjamesg Technically you can do it in two lines. But error validation matters :D

#
[tantek] that's a lot of lines to send a webmention yeah
#
capjamesg [tantek] It's technically one :D
#
capjamesg But the rest are importing the library and adding some exception handling.
#
capjamesg I thought "Send a webmention in one line of Python" would be misleading since without exception handling you might get an un-handled error if a site doesn't support webmentions.
#
[tantek] capjamesg, you could break it down to pieces. "Discover a webmention-friendly site in one line", "Send a webmention to a receptive site in one line"
#
capjamesg +1
#
[snarfed] fwiw I think the "one line" framing is totally fine. engineers know the point there isn't strictly accurate counting, imports error handling etc
#
jacky error handling? (lol)
#
jacky [tantek]: I'd like one, I have a stub for my dog but I do wanna post things about her there eventually
