Parses a superset of Python allowing for inline module import expressions
Project description
Import Expression Parser (for lack of a better name)
Import Expression Parser converts code like this:
x = collections.deque!(maxsize=2)
Into this roughly equivalent code:
from collections import deque
x = deque(maxsize=2)
del deque
Usage
>>> import import_expression
>>> import_expression.eval('collections!.Counter("bccdddeeee")')
Counter({'e': 4, 'd': 3, 'c': 2, 'b': 1})
By default, the filename for SyntaxError
s is <string>
.
To change this, pass in a filename via the filename
kwarg.
Monkey Patching the REPL
>>> urllib.parse!.quote
File "<stdin>", line 1
urllib.parse!.quote
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> import import_expression.patch
>>> import_expression.patch.patch(globals())
>>> urllib.parse!.quote
<function quote at 0xdeadbeef>
For convenience, you can also add the following two lines to your sitecustomize.py
:
import import_expression.patch
import_expression.patch.patch()
And all REPL sessions will use the import expression syntax.
Limitations / Known Issues
- Some invalid syntax, such as
!a
,a!b
,urllib!.parse!
, anddef a(b!): pass
, is not yet detected. - Due to python limitations, results of
import_expression.exec
will have no effect on the caller's globals without an explicitglobals
argument.
FAQ
Actually asked questions for a new project! Golly gee!
-
Why not just use
__import__('x')
?
From the discord.py server:devon#4089: if i want to type
_("thing")
devon#4089: i have to move my fingers between three different locations
devon#4089: both at the end and start of the string
lambda#0987: yeah and [it's] also a pain to type on mobile so ok
devon#4089: <<x>> is slightly less grating \For context, the originally proposed syntax was <<x>>.
