TODO

use click to make it a proper CLI, now that there will be multiple options
make it produce printable sheets, probably as PDFs
- add nice spacing for easy reading
- "enscript --columns=4 --output=file --no-header ~/tempfile.ps ~/tempfile.txt"
- "ps2pdf ~/tempfile.ps ~/problems_and_answers.pdf"
- options
  - create_pdf
    - number of columns [auto]
    - font
    - include column labels

Other Projects That Could Depend On This

do the problems online/on computer
a website to serve these up and let people use them for free
- a web API that serves it, so people can do that programmatically
