How To Write A Quine

• peregrine 16y ago
  Couldn't you write a program that loads its own file and prints out each line __main__(): prgm = file("prgm.py") for line in prgm: print(line) or does that break the rules?

    Like you surmised - that breaks the rules. And since a quine is generally "just" a brain-teaser rather then a useful tool - where's the fun in breaking the rules? :)

      File "pyquine.py", line 1 File "pyquine.py", line 1 ^ IndentationError: unexpected indent I did not write this quine.

        In Python the empty file is also a Quine.
