There seem to be a number of items in the jokes list which I wouldn't class as being jokes. They are humorous statements or even amusing pieces of code - but clearly these are not jokes.

Examples:

• /* no comment */
• #define _(x) ((x) < score)
• tr { transform: rotate(180deg); } It seems the tables have been turned.
• tabs > spaces
• spaces > tabs

I don't want to be too strict but when using the module the behaviour is expected to be uniform. If there was a separate category for this type of humour that might help?

Any thoughts?

There are lot of not funny jokes!😭

My cringe top 8:

1. If you play a Windows CD backwards, you'll hear satanic chanting ... worse still, if you play it forwards, it installs Windows.👎
2. How many programmers does it take to kill a cockroach? Two: one holds, the other installs Windows on it.💩
3. Speed Kills! Use Windows.🤦‍♂️
4. The box said: 'install on Windows 95, NT 4.0 or better'. So I installed it on Linux.🤡
5. Windows is NOT a virus. Viruses DO something.🤦‍♀️
6. WINDOWS stands for Will Install Needless Data On Whole System.☠️
7. Bugs come in through open Windows.😡
8. Computers are like air conditioners: they stop working when you open Windows.🤥

Replace this to Chuck Norris please.

I am encountering a ModuleNotFoundError when trying to use the pyjokes library in my Python script, even though pyjokes is installed in my environment. Here are the details of my setup and the steps I have taken to troubleshoot the issue.

Environment:

Operating System: Windows 11

Python Version: 3.12
pyjokes Version: 0.7.2
IDE: [Specify if using any, e.g., VS Code, PyCharm]
Steps to Reproduce:

Install pyjokes using pip:

sh
Copy code
pip install pyjokes
Verify installation:

sh
Copy code
pip list
Output shows pyjokes installed:

Copy code
pyjokes 0.7.2
Create a Python script (module.py):

python
Copy code
import pyjokes

def main():
joke = pyjokes.get_joke()
print(joke)

if name == "main":
main()
Run the script:

sh
Copy code
python module.py
Observed Behavior:

I receive the following error message:
arduino
Copy code
Exception has occurred: ModuleNotFoundError
No module named 'pyjokes'
Additional Details:

I have verified that pyjokes is installed in the correct Python environment.
I have tried reinstalling pyjokes using pip uninstall pyjokes followed by pip install pyjokes.
I have ensured that the script is being run in the same environment where pyjokes is installed.
I attempted to activate a virtual environment and install pyjokes within it, but encountered an issue activating the virtual environment with the following error:
csharp
Copy code
.\venv\Scripts\activate : The term '.\venv\Scripts\activate' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Expected Behavior:

The script should run without errors and print a joke from the pyjokes library.
Request:

Any guidance or suggestions on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated. If there are specific environment configurations or additional steps I should take, please let me know.
Thank you for your assistance!

import pyjokes

joke = pyjokes.get_joke()
print(joke)
after this when I try to run its' not running

We can add some common stuff like:

• Jokes should be gender neutral.
• Racism should be avoided.
• Jokes that are abusive, hateful, pornographic, unlawful, libelous, or that discriminate against or disrespect people’s ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, age or disability should be avoided.
• Etc.

What features do you think we need for a v1.0 release?

Just Say People: PHP is Trash
They Just don't Give a Shit, EVEN IF THEY ONLY KNOW PHP AND SQL

I know Its a Bad Joke, but nothing to do, I am Depressed as F***

Easy enough as it's a simple module. I suggest mkdocs and pythonhosted.org

Hello,
I was wondering if you could bump the version of the package. The last version seems to be v0.6.0 5 years ago, and it looks like there was some improvement since then. I'm teaching python to children and would like to use your package in French, but I can't yet because French is not in v0.6.0 ^^

What is needed to get to the next version ?

I want to store the every joke that generates in to one variable and then I don't want to print it, instead, I want send jokes in my discord server using my bot (discord.py package), also, is this project abandoned? Help me!!

Hello I kindly want to ask if its okay to propose no english jokes here for the other languages? For example for the language de (german) the return is always "no jokes found" I would like to fix that. So if it is helpfull I would provide some german jokes for all categorys.

EDIT: I just found a lot german jokes are already implemented. So there is either a problem with getting these or i do use it in the wrong way. If I run pyjoke -l de from command line the output is No jokes found.

Only if this has a decent amount of jokes will I consider using this. Maybe you should mention or at least give us an approximation in your documentation?

I would like to add some jokes in swedish in pyjokes. So please someone let me if I can start working on that. Thank you.

What about BTS or KPOP jokes?

@oiertwo where are the tests? They should be runnable locally (i.e. before commit, not after) and stored in a tests directory in the project root.

I have some suggestions for more tests:

• Test all jokes are 140 characters or less
• Test error is appropriate for command line near-miss (i.e. pyjokes)
• Test errors are appropriate for language not available in Python and on command line (e.g. pyjokes -l eu)

(others: please add other wanted test cases here)

Twitter changed maximum length to 280. Should we do the same? @bennuttall @alexsavio @borjaayerdi

@borjaayerdi

These two jokes in the neutral category:

'Knock, knock.' 'Who’s there?' ... very long pause ... 'Java.'
3 Database Admins walked into a NoSQL bar. A little while later they walked out because they couldn’t find a table.

contain a U+2019 character for the apostrophe in "Who's" and "couldn't" - when they are printed, the following traceback is produced on Windows:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u2019' in position 20: character maps to <undefined>

I guess this is because Windows is using a different character encoding to other OSes - I've seen the Java joke get printed out successfully on my Linux machine so it seems not to be a problem there.

I guess there is no such thing as an explicit joke, all jokes should be explicit, otherwise nobody would be able to transmit them. A sentence could have an implicit joke, but that I guess is called irony.
Shouldn't we call adult instead of explicit?

https://github.com/bennuttall/pyjokes/blob/master/pyjokes/pyjokes.py#L5

The function is called get_joke but sometimes I don't get the joke.
It's also non-deterministic because if I use get_jokeand the same joke is shown, after a couple of times I get it and then I never have the same problem with that specific joke.

Re: #78

The Mycroft project has built a skill that uses pyjokes for its joke repository.

I would like to propose that we add general joke support that include a wide range of jokes outside of programming centric. I would be happy to get this started if the pull request will be accepted.

Propose new jokes here

I would like to add some jokes in french in pyjokes. So please someone let me if I can start working on that. Thank you.

Maybe we could add some tags to each joke. For example: allpublic, dirty, mother, geek, python

So in the default 'pyjoke' command run we avoid the jokes with some tags, e.g., 'dirty'.

What do you think?

Hi, I'd like to propose a joke. I opened pull request #85 with the patch.

How many Haskell programmers does it take to change a lightbulb? Haskell programmers don't 'change' lightbulbs, they 'replace' them. And you must also replace the whole house at the same time.

The above quote was taken from the free book F# for Fun and Profit.

related issue: pypa/pipx#111

You install a package called pyjokes then you might expect to run pyjokes at the command line. However, currently this returns the error pyjokes: command not found because the correct command is pyjoke.

This usage makes sense as pyjoke yields a single joke. However, this could be confusing.

I propose three options:

1. We rename the script to pyjokes
2. We alias pyjokes to pyjoke
3. We leave pyjoke as is, and add a pyjokes script to say "Did you mean pyjoke?"

Thoughts?

I was wondering if it would be worth adding a category specifically for "dad" jokes, which is to say, a marker specifically for pun-based humour. I would add that this would create a bucket of the more difficult-to-translate items, as that sort of thing tends to be vocabulary-specific.

Hello, I noticed this project long time ago, and I'm glad to translate some jokes into Chinese :)

https://github.com/pi314/pyjokes/tree/zh_tw

I encounter some problems in test_joke_encoding.py, Chinese jokes just can't pass the following test:

#test if joke is windows compatible
def _test_joke_win(joke):
    assert len(joke) <= len(joke.encode('ascii', 'ignore'))

I don't have Windows machines right now, and I'm not sure if it is ok to modify this test case.

Any ideas?
