Introduction to `yadr`¶

The yadr package is a Yet Another Dice Notation (YADN) parser that can be used to generate random numbers in a way that simulates rolling dice for a game.

The name yadr stands for “Yet Another Dice Roller,” a reference to the fact there is no shortage of dice rollers in PyPI.

Using `yadr`¶

If you want to execute the package from the command line, you can install the package using pip or other Python package manager, and run it as a module with the following:

python -m yadr <YADN_string>

If you want to import it into your own code, install and import the package as usual. You can then use the yadr.roll() function to execute a string of YADN.:

>>> import yadr
>>>
>>> yadn = '3d6'
>>> result = yadr.roll(yadn)
