gollark: Why.
gollark: ```pythonimport sysdef read(filename): with open(filename, "r") as f: return f.read()def write(filename, data): with open(filename, "w") as f: return f.write(data)this_file = sys.argv[0]write(this_file, read(this_file).replace("filename", "filenamefilename"))```This one definitely works and does things.
gollark: sys.argv[0] *should* be it.
gollark: Let's go with "nearly self-modifying".
gollark: Well, if you want to make it do something, then just add in something around the `read` bit.
