Rube Codeberg Competition
summary
Seventeen entries compete under tight rules: print "hello world", import and use Beautiful Soup, run in Python 3 and stay under 199 lines. Submissions include a maze-encoded Pac-Man parser that extracts the HTML title, a suite that actually contains tests, several DNS-failing fetchers hitting example.org, a winner that serves HTML then fetches it via sparkly telnet, another that renders per-letter ASCII art with full OO factories, and one that literally is printed to a real printer.
