pplox 0.0.5

Interpreter for the Lox programming language

Interpreter for the Lox programming language

Getting Started

pip install pplox

Create your lox file. For example, hello_world.lox

print "Hello world"

Tokenize the file with pplox --tokenize hello_world.lox.

Parse the file with pplox --parse hello_world.lox.

See the documentation for more details.

Library Usage

pplox can also be used as a library in your own Python projects. For example, if you want to implement your own Lox interpreter but want to skip writing the scanner, you can use pplox' scanner like so:

from pplox.scanner import Scanner

scanner = Scanner('print "Hello world"')
tokens = scanner.scan_tokens()

This gives you a list of tokens to be parsed and interpreted.

See https://github.com/karlcaga/pplox_web/ for an example application of pplox being used as a library.
