Band Name Generator App

☁️ 100 Days of Code: The Complete Python Pro Bootcamp

Band Name Generator

Project Overview

The Band Name Generator is a simple, interactive Python app built as an introductory exercise in learning the language. It demonstrates:

• User Interaction: Collecting input from users through prompts.

• String Manipulation: Generating a custom band name using user-provided data.

• Web App Deployment: Transforming a CLI-based script into an interactive web experience using Streamlit.

Key Features

• Interactive Input: Asks for the user’s hometown and pet’s name.

• Dynamic Output: Generates a personalized band name by combining the two inputs.

Technical Architecture

Language: Python 3.x
Web Framework: Streamlit

Core Dependencies

• streamlit: For building and serving the web app.

• (Optional) python-dotenv: For managing environment variables (if used in future enhancements).

Setup Instructions

Step 1: Clone the Repository

bash

git clone https://github.com/ldw16/band-name-generator.git

cd band-name-generator

Step 2: Install Dependencies

bash

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 3: Run the App Locally

bash

streamlit run app.py

Common Issues

• Streamlit Not Installed: Run pip install streamlit.

• Script Won’t Run: Ensure you are in the correct directory and that app.py exists.

• Web App Doesn't Launch: Check your browser; Streamlit usually opens a new tab automatically.

Learning Goals

This project supports the following learning outcomes:

• Basic Python Syntax: Practice with input() and print() functions.

• Variable Handling: Store and combine user input.

• Web Deployment Basics: Use Streamlit to turn a Python script into a browser app.

• Version Control: Share and manage code via GitHub.
