Of course! The term "Inquisition Python" isn't a standard Python library or framework. It's almost certainly a creative or humorous name, likely for a Python script or project designed to ask a lot of questions.

The name evokes the Spanish Inquisition's famous line, "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" but replaces it with the idea of relentless, programmatic questioning.
Let's break down what a "Python Inquisition" script could be and how you might build one. I'll provide a few examples, from simple to more advanced.
The Simple "Inquisition" (Interactive Q&A)
This is the most straightforward interpretation. A script that asks a user a series of questions and stores their answers. This could be for a survey, a personality quiz, or a simple data collection tool.
Example Code: inquisition_simple.py
# inquisition_simple.py
def run_the_inquisition():
"""
Runs a simple question-and-answer session.
"""
print("We are the Spanish Inquisition! We have a few questions for you.")
print("Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!\n")
# A dictionary to store the user's answers
confessions = {}
# List of questions to ask
questions = {
"name": "What is your name?",
"favorite_color": "What is your favorite color?",
"quest": "What is your quest?",
"swallow": "What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?",
"capital_of_assyria": "What is the capital of Assyria?" # A trick question!
}
for key, question in questions.items():
answer = input(f"{question} ")
confessions[key] = answer
print(f"Recorded. Next!\n")
print("\nInquisition complete. Here is your file:")
print("-" * 20)
for key, value in confessions.items():
print(f"{key.replace('_', ' ').title()}: {value}")
print("-" * 20)
if __name__ == "__main__":
run_the_inquisition()
How to Run It:
- Save the code as
inquisition_simple.py. - Run it from your terminal:
python inquisition_simple.py - Answer the questions as they appear.
The "Spanish Inquisition" Personality Quiz
This version adds a scoring mechanism, making it more like a quiz. The answers determine a "rank" within the Inquisition.

Example Code: inquisition_quiz.py
# inquisition_quiz.py
def run_the_inquisition_quiz():
"""
A personality quiz to determine your rank in the Spanish Inquisition.
"""
print("We are the Spanish Inquisition! Prepare for the quiz.")
print("Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!\n")
score = 0
# Question 1
print("Question 1: Fear...")
print("a) Brings me joy.")
print("b) Is a sign of weakness.")
print("c) Is for the heretics.")
answer1 = input("Your choice (a, b, c): ").lower()
if answer1 == 'a':
score += 3
elif answer1 == 'b':
score += 2
elif answer1 == 'c':
score += 1
# Question 2
print("\nQuestion 2: The comfy chair...")
print("a) Is for relaxation.")
print("b) Is a tool for persuasion.")
print("c) Merely wood.")
answer2 = input("Your choice (a, b, c): ").lower()
if answer2 == 'b':
score += 3
elif answer2 == 'a':
score += 1
elif answer2 == 'c':
score += 2
# Question 3
print("\nQuestion 3: Heretics...")
print("a) Should be converted.")
print("b) Must be purified by fire.")
print("c) Are just people with different opinions.")
answer3 = input("Your choice (a, b, c): ").lower()
if answer3 == 'b':
score += 3
elif answer3 == 'a':
score += 2
elif answer3 == 'c':
score += 1
# Determine the rank
print("\n--- Scoring your soul ---")
if score >= 7:
rank = "Grand Inquisitor"
elif score >= 4:
rank = "Cardinal of the Holy Office"
else:
rank = "Novice Inquisitor"
print(f"Your score is: {score}")
print(f"Congratulations, you are now a: {rank}!")
if __name__ == "__main__":
run_the_inquisition_quiz()
The Advanced "Inquisition" (API-Powered Questioning)
This is where "Inquisition Python" gets more interesting. Imagine a script that programmatically asks questions of an API (Application Programming Interface) instead of a human user. This is a very common real-world task.
For this example, let's create a script that "interrogates" a public API to get information. We'll use the JSONPlaceholder API, a fake online REST API for testing.
The "Inquisition" Questions (API Endpoints):
- "What is the title of post #1?" ->
GET /posts/1 - "Who is user #1?" ->
GET /users/1 - "Show me the first comment." ->
GET /comments/1
Example Code: api_inquisition.py
# api_inquisition.py
import requests
def ask_api(endpoint_url):
"""
Interrogates the specified API endpoint and returns the JSON response.
"""
try:
print(f"Interrogating API endpoint: {endpoint_url}")
response = requests.get(endpoint_url)
# Raise an exception if the request was unsuccessful (e.g., 404, 500)
response.raise_for_status()
data = response.json()
return data
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
print(f"ERROR: The API did not cooperate. Reason: {e}")
return None
def run_the_api_inquisition():
"""
Runs a series of questions against the JSONPlaceholder API.
"""
base_url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com"
print("We are the API Inquisition! Prepare for data extraction.")
print("Nobody expects the API Inquisition!\n")
# Question 1: Get Post #1
print("--- Interrogation 1: Post Details ---")
post_data = ask_api(f"{base_url}/posts/1")
if post_data:
print(f"Q: What is the title of post #1?")
print(f"A: {post_data.get('title', 'N/A')}")
print("-" * 20)
# Question 2: Get User #1
print("\n--- Interrogation 2: User Profile ---")
user_data = ask_api(f"{base_url}/users/1")
if user_data:
print(f"Q: Who is user #1?")
print(f"A: {user_data.get('name', 'N/A')}, Email: {user_data.get('email', 'N/A')}")
print("-" * 20)
# Question 3: Get Comment #1
print("\n--- Interrogation 3: Comment Analysis ---")
comment_data = ask_api(f"{base_url}/comments/1")
if comment_data:
print(f"Q: Show me the first comment.")
print(f"A: '{comment_data.get('body', 'N/A')}'")
print("-" * 20)
print("\nInquisition complete. All data has been extracted.")
if __name__ == "__main__":
# You might need to install the requests library first:
# pip install requests
run_the_api_inquisition()
Summary: What is "Inquisition Python"?
| Type of Inquisition | Core Idea | Python Skills Used | Real-World Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple Q&A | Asks a user questions and stores answers. | input(), for loops, dictionaries, if/else |
Forms, surveys, user registration scripts. |
| Personality Quiz | Asks questions with scoring and results. | All of the above, plus logic for calculating scores. | Interactive web content, lead generation forms. |
| API-Powered | "Asks" questions to a web service (API). | requests library, HTTP methods (GET), JSON parsing, try/except for errors. |
Data aggregation, monitoring systems, automating tasks. |
So, when you hear "Inquisition Python," think of a script that is relentless in its pursuit of information, whether that information comes from a user or a machine.
