i never use my goddamn wit.ai powered baking converter (it makes a lot of mistakes and i never made a proper UI), so i decided to just whip up some quick python raw_input shit so i can bake some goddamn muffins right now

baking.py

units = ["cup","tbsp","tsp"]
# ingred are grams per 1 cup
ingred = {
  "cinnamon": 124.8,
  "flour": 125,
  "bread flour": 125,
  "whole wheat flour": 125,
  "cake flour": 113.398,
  "butter": 226.888,
  "baking powder": 220.973,
  "baking soda": 170.58,
  "cocoa powder": 86.118,
  "granulated sugar": 199.91,
  "brown sugar": 212.621,
  "sour cream": 226,
  "kosher salt": 288
}

# this function could be cleaner im not gonna lie
def convert(requests, item, amt, metricUnit):
  if ((item not in ingred) or (metricUnit not in units)):
    return "i don't know"
  result = amt * ingred[item]
  if (metricUnit == "tsp"):
    result /= 48.0
  elif (metricUnit == "tbsp"):
    result /= 16.0
  conversion = "%.2fg" % result
  requests.append(conversion+" of "+item)
  return conversion

def parseRequest(req,requests):
  requestTokens = req.split(" ")
  amount = float(requestTokens[0])
  unit = requestTokens[1]
  item = " ".join(requestTokens[2:])
  return convert(requests, item, amount, unit)
  
def main():
  requests = []
  print("Welcome to the handy baking converter.")
  print("Please input your request in the format [AMOUNT] [METRIC UNIT] [ITEM]. Thanks!")
  print("Enter to quit")
  req = raw_input("What do you need in grams? ")
  while (req != ""):
    print(parseRequest(req,requests))
    req = raw_input("What do you need in grams? ")
  print("Okay! Happy baking! Here are your requests:")
  print("\n".join(requests))

main()
