# a modified version of a simple eliza-like program
# based off of eliza1.py
#
# 1) greet user
# 2) get user's statement about life
# first exchange based on user's politeness
# 3) repeat until user leaves:
# 3.1) do a reflexion first to second person
# by replacing I by you, me by you,
# mine by yours, my by your, etc...
# and also 2nd to first person with correct grammar
# respond to aggressive user
# 3.2) figure out what to print
# if a family word was used, ask user about family
# if the sentence was reflected, then print it
# if the sentence contained no or never, then
# react to it
# otherwise, just a random canned sentence
#
from random import choice
# canned answers that the program will use to get the
# user to keep the conversation going...

"\nI see...",
"\nGo on...",

# user is responding in the negative ("no", or "never")
cannedNegative = [ "\nMy, my, so negative!",

"\nReally?",
"\nYou really think so?",

"\nIs that a family trait?",
"\nTell me more about your family.",

# This program expects data stored in the file; the data comes from this
# URL: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/stationdata/
# where temperatures in the UK have been recorded over the past 200 years or so.
# The format for each line is the following:
# year
# month of the year (1 for January, 2 for February, etc.)
# max temperature that month (in Celcius)
# min temperature that month
# number of days of air-frost
# amount of rain (millimeter)
# number of sun hours that month
#
# The original data files can be found on this site. The following legend appears on all the data files:
# Estimated data is marked with a * after the value. Missing data (more than 2 days missing in month)
# is marked by ---. Sunshine data taken from an automatic Kipp & Zonen sensor marked with a #,
# otherwise sunshine data taken from a Campbell Stokes recorder.'
