Once in a π

Find any unicode string in π. Honoring pi day

A small python script that transforms a unicode string to numbers - using ord() - and tries to find that string of number in an approximation of π.

usage: once_in_a.py [-h] [--pi PI] [--to TO] lookup_string [lookup_string ...]

Find a random unicode string in an aproximation of PI

positional arguments:
  lookup_string  The unicode string you want to find

optional arguments:
  -h, --help     show this help message and exit
  --pi PI        Set your prefered approximation of π (default: 355/113)
  --to TO        Path to the file to write the results to.

NOTA BENE: the longer the string the longer the program will run, e.g. test is 116101115116 which is not a common pattern in π. For longer strings I suggest you use the flag --to and orphan the process.
