brainfuckpy 0.2.2

A lightweight pure python brainfuck interpreter and visualizer

brainfuck.py

A simple lightweight pure python brainfuck interpreter and visualizer.

Installation

The package is available on PyPI, as such simply run:

$ pip install brainfuckpy

Usage

Basic can be used by simply providing the command line tool with a brainfuck program. Either by piping it in, by passing it as an argument or by passing a file containing a program. As such these are all valid and equivalent uses:

$ python -m brainfuckpy '++++++++[>++++[>++>+++>+++>+<<<<-]>+>+>->>+[<]<-]>>.>---.+++++++..+++.>>.<-.<.+++.------.--------.>>+.>++.'

$ cat hello.bf | python -m brainfuckpy

$ python -m brainfuckpy hello.bf

Additionally, the evaluation may be visualized by adding the -vis flag.

If more control is required the package also gives access to the underlying functions. In general, passing the program to brainfuckpy.evaluate_brainfuck should cover 90% of usecases. The other 10% should be solveable by calling brainfuckpy.evaluate_processed and changing the callbacks it uses (see documentation).

Future development

• Compiling to brainfuck.
• Better documentation
