🗺️ Keyword Mapping

Here’s a mapping of Kannada keywords to their Python equivalents, You can Change it :

Kannada Keyword	Python Equivalent
ಮುದ್ರಿಸು	print
ವಿಧ	type
ಒಳಸೇರಿಸು	input
ಉದ್ದ	len
ಸಾಲು	str
ಪೂರ್ಣಸಂಖ್ಯೆ	int
ಸಮ್ಮತ	float
ಪಟ್ಟಿ	list
ನೆರಕೆ	dict
ರಾಶಿ	set
ಟ್ಯೂಪಲ್ಸ್	tuple
ಬೂಲ್	bool
ಒಂದು_ವೇಳೆ	if
ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ	elif
ಬೇರೆ	else
ಬದಲು	for
ವೇಳೆ	while
ಮುರಿ	break
ಮುಂದುವರೆಸು	continue
ಹಿಂದಿರುಗು	return
ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಿಸು	try
ಹೊರತುಪಡಿಸಿ	except
ಕೊನೆಯದಾಗಿ	finally
ಜೊತೆಗೆ	with
ಕಾರ್ಯ	def
ನಿಜ	True
ಸುಳ್ಳು	False
ತೇರ್ಗಡೆ	pass
ವರ್ಗ	class
ರಲ್ಲಿ	in
ಲ್ಯಾಂಬ್ಡಾ	lambda
ಹಳಿಸು	del
ಸಮಗ್ರ	global

Example Code

Here's a simple examples using Above Kannada_keywords:

calculator.py

ಎ = ಪೂರ್ಣಸಂಖ್ಯೆ(ಒಳಸೇರಿಸು('ಮೊದಲ ಸಂಖ್ಯೆ ನಮೂದಿಸಿ: '))
ಬ = ಪೂರ್ಣಸಂಖ್ಯೆ(ಒಳಸೇರಿಸು('ಎರಡನೇ ಸಂಖ್ಯೆ ನಮೂದಿಸಿ: '))
ಚಲನ = ಒಳಸೇರಿಸು('ಚಲನ ( +, -, *, /, **) ನಮೂದಿಸಿ: ')

ಕಾರ್ಯ ಎಣಿಕೆ(ಎ, ಬ, ಚಲನ):
    ಒಂದು_ವೇಳೆ ಚಲನ == '+':
        ಮುದ್ರಿಸು(ಎ + ಬ)
    ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ ಚಲನ == '-':
        ಮುದ್ರಿಸು(ಎ - ಬ)
    ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ ಚಲನ == '*':
        ಮುದ್ರಿಸು(ಎ * ಬ)
    ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ ಚಲನ == '/':
        ಮುದ್ರಿಸು(ಎ / ಬ)
    ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ ಚಲನ == '**':
        ಮುದ್ರಿಸು(ಎ ** ಬ)
    ಬೇರೆ:
        ಮುದ್ರಿಸು('ತಪ್ಪು ಚಲನ')

ಎಣಿಕೆ(ಎ, ಬ, ಚಲನ)

🧪 Testing Experience

As part of the development process for pyKannada, extensive testing was conducted to ensure reliability and compatibility across various platforms. Here are some insights from my testing experience:

Platforms Tested

1. Pydroid 3:

   • Overview: Pydroid 3 is a popular Python IDE for Android, making it accessible for users on mobile devices.
   • Experience: The app performed exceptionally well, allowing users to write and execute Kannada scripts seamlessly. The user interface is intuitive, and the integration of Kannada keywords worked without any issues.

2. Visual Studio Code:

   • 1. Font Settings:
     • Use a font that supports Kannada characters. In your VS Code settings, search for Terminal > Integrated: Font Family and set it to a font like Noto Sans Kannada or Noto Serif Kannada.
   • 2. Change Terminal Encoding:
     • Ensure your terminal is set to use UTF-8 encoding, which supports Kannada characters. This setting can typically be found in the terminal preferences.
   • 3. Update VS Code:
     • Always use the latest version of Visual Studio Code, as updates may improve support for international languages.
   • 4. Use an External Terminal:
     • If the integrated terminal is not displaying Kannada correctly, consider configuring VS Code to use an external terminal (such as Command Prompt or Windows Terminal) for better compatibility.
   • 5. Testing in Different Terminals:
     • Try running your scripts in various terminals to see if they display Kannada characters correctly.
   • 6. Check Language Pack:
     • If you are using the Kannada language pack in VS Code, ensure it is correctly installed and configured.

Following these steps can significantly improve your experience when working with Kannada text in Visual Studio Code.

3. Standard Python Installation:
   • Overview: Testing was conducted on various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux, with a standard Python installation.
   • Experience: The interpreter ran smoothly on all tested platforms, demonstrating its versatility and robustness. The REPL mode and script execution performed as expected, providing consistent results.

Key Takeaways

• User-Friendly: The ability to use Kannada keywords significantly lowers the entry barrier for new programmers.
• Reliability: Extensive testing confirmed that the interpreter can handle a variety of scripts without crashing or throwing unexpected errors.
• Community Feedback: Feedback from early users highlighted the usefulness of the interactive REPL and the ease of modifying keyword mappings.

These testing experiences have solidified my belief in the potential of pyKannada to make programming more accessible to Kannada speakers and foster a new generation of developers.
