Want programmer for quick (hours) Python 3.x job


Hey folks. Going to try delegating some work.

I'm looking for a programmer to use Python 3.x and pycairo to write a script to generate black and white images of a known number of circles.

Requirements:

* Will pay 80 USD; can Interac e-transfer or Paypal

* CLI script using Python 3.x and pycairo

* images are output as .png with uniquish filename that must include easily parseable digits for number of circles

* long-form "--foo" command-line options

  * --side <- this is the image width == image height in pixels

  * --radius <- circle radius in pixels

  * --count <- number of circles; support 0; typical range to 20
* images are black circles on white background

* images are png

* circle centres are uniform randomly distributed in width and height

* circles may graze edge of image, but no part of circle should extend outside image

* circles must not overlap. At least one white pixel betwen.

* performance should be such that generating 10k images of 100px side with 10 circles each takes less than a minute

* contact me at dot <"Addams" but with only one "d"> @gmail.com. Please confirm before doing any work.

Clarification 2: Not a hard performance constraint. Let's say 1k+ images in 60s.

Clarification: the circles should actually be disks. I.e. black border with black fill.
