video-store-kata

README.md

Introduction

This is the famous video store refactoring kata by Martin Fowler. This kata was subsequently translated to Java (as well as slightly modified) by Uncle Bob. Finally, I personally decided to translate the version of Uncle Bob to Python.

In the original version, it is stated that code smells by themselves are not enough of a reason to refactor code. So an additional feature is imposed, namely to also be able to create an HTML version of the current text-based only rental statement

Rental Record for martin
  Ran 3.5
  Trois Couleurs: Bleu 2
Amount owed is 5.5
You earned 2 frequent renter points
