11/28/2025 - TFW a one-liner makes your code WORSE


Hey all, Shirley here. If there's one thing you should know about me in terms of my programming habits, it's that I LOVE one-liners. At least when they're readable. One-liners are single lines of code that do multiple things at once. They save a bit of space for the low cost of slightly less readability. Well, in this case a one-liner has unfortunately sabotaged my tool.

What was the culprit, you may be wondering? "os._exit()". I had put this at the end of a one-liner that writes changes to Pinori.ini, which means that the tool quit before the changes were saved. This leaves Pinori.ini BLANK permanently. Fortunately, the fix was as simple as moving the os._exit() to the next line, and now the tool is functioning as it was supposed to.

Dear programming noobs: DO NOT PUT EXIT COMMANDS ON LINES WHERE FILE OPERATIONS ARE GOING ON. I know this advice is in the same caliber as "don't stick metal in the toaster/an electrical outlet", but if I needed to make a mental note of this, at least someone else out there does too.

The fixed version of PyNoriSUU v1.0 is already out. Sorry for any trouble. Shirley out!
