AdHoc 0.3.2

Standalone Package Generator

AdHoc Standalone Python Script Generator
########################################

The *AdHoc* compiler can be used as a program (see `Script Usage`_)
as well as a module (see :class:`adhoc.AdHoc`).

Since the *AdHoc* compiler itself is installed as a compiled *AdHoc*
script, it serves as its own usage example.

After installation of the *adhoc.py* script, the full source can be
obtained in directory ``__adhoc__``, by executing::

adhoc.py --explode

Purpose
=======

*AdHoc* provides python scripts with

- template facilities
- default file generation
- standalone module inclusion

*AdHoc* has been designed to provide an implode/explode cycle:

======== ======= ========= ======= =========
source_0 xsource_0
source_1 implode explode xsource_1
... ------> script.py ------> ...
source_n xsource_n
======== ======= ========= ======= =========

where ``xsource_i === source_i``. I.e., ``diff source_i xsource_i``
does not produce any output.

Quickstart
==========

module.py:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
mvar = 'value'

script.py:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# @:adhoc_run_time:@
import module # @:adhoc:@
print('mvar: ' + module.mvar)

Compilation::

adhoc.py --compile script.py >/tmp/script-compiled.py

Execution outside source directory::

cd /tmp && python script-compiled.py

shows::

mvar: value

Decompilation::

cd /tmp && \
mkdir -p __adhoc__ && \
adhoc.py --decompile <script-compiled.py >__adhoc__/script.py
