C-Style Python

Published 07/02/2024

C-Style Python pre-processor. Allows you to write Python with brackets defining the scope instead of tabs. + Similiar to Bython.

What Does It Do?

• Allows you to write Python with brackets defining the scope instead of tabs.
• Pre-processor in front of Python.

Requirements

• Java 8 or greater

Features

• Transpilers for: Bython to Python, Python to C-Style Python, C-Style Python to Python
• CLI & Java API for compiling or interpret - interpreting requires python to be installed on the machine (version is up to the user).

What Is C-Style Python

• It’s similar to Bython, with the major difference being If statements, for loops & while loops are C/Java like.
  • This means instead of using tabs, brackets define scope.
  • /// defines a single-line comment, we also inherit python comments with #
  • /* starts a multi-line comment, it ends with */
  • If / While / For / Try / Catch statements can optionally include parenthesis such as if (a == 5)
• All syntax changes are optional, the transpiler supports python code by default, so you can keep your favorite python syntax sugars.

How To Use

• Edit the config.ini and provide your python paths for the version you want to use.
• Run the class ‘CStylePython’ with the argument pointing to the script you want to interpret with the .cpy file extension

Requirements

• Java 1.8 or greater - for transpiling.
• Python (any version) - if you want to interpret the C-Style Python code.

Notes

• Super experimental, lacks an AST - so it’s prone to breaking, feel free to report any edge-cases you find!

Python Code

def demo():
    # Variable assignments
    x = 10
    y = 5

    # Conditional statement
    if x > y:
        print("x is greater than y")
    else:
        print("x is not greater than y")

    # Loop with error handling
    for i in range(5):
        try:
            result = x / (y - i)
            print(f"Result of division: {result}")
        except ZeroDivisionError:
            print("Division by zero occurred")

# Call the function
demo()
