Role: Creator / co-developer Org: Open Science Laboratory (OpenSciLab) Domain: Art — ASCII art generation in Python Adoption: Added to conda-forge. Cited in scientific papers on LLM security research. Funding: PSF Software Development Grant — Art — PSF grant for multi-line and custom font features (May 2024).
Summary
Art does the “smart” placement of typed special characters and letters so that together they form a visual shape spread over several lines of text. It is ASCII art, in other words, but delivered as a library that a program can call.
The PSF Software Development Grant awarded in May 2024 funded two additions to the library: multi-line output and custom fonts.
