Replace single usage of perl with Python
sarayourfriend opened this issue · comments
Current Situation
We use perl in a single place, and it could easily be replaced with a small Python script instead.
openverse/.pre-commit-config.yaml
Line 22 in 77f2392
Suggested Improvement
Replace it with Python script.
Benefit
Remove the only use of perl from our app, obviating it as a dependency (it isn't technically universally available, and Python is a basic requirement for Openverse so is more dependable).
Additional context
#4343 reveals this as a bad dependency, if we can avoid it.
