pybrainfuck

pybrainfuck is yet another Python BrainFuck implementation. The goal is not be the fastest or most efficient but rather to be extensive in the implementation, configurable and extendable.

It contains a BrainFck class which can be directly used or subclassed to use in scripts. The code is fully documented and commented.

Or else the pip installed script pybrainfuck can be directly used.

Documentation

Read the full documentation at readthedocs.org:

• pybrainfuck documentation

Python 2/3 Support

• Python 2.7

• Python 3.2/3.3/3.4/3.5

• It also works with pypy and pypy3

Installation

From pypi:

pip install pybrainfuck

From source:

• Place the pybrainfuck directory found in the sources inside your project and import it

Scriptwise:

• The entire implementation has been kept inside a single file. You can copy it inside other sources too

Quick Usage

Let’s quickly put together a script:

from __future__ import (absolute_import, division, print_function,
                        unicode_literals)

import sys

from pybrainfuck import BrainFck

if name == '__main__':

    bfck = BrainFck()

    for arg in sys.argv[1:]:
        print('-' * 50)
        print('Running:', arg)
        print('-' * 50)
        bfck.runfile(arg)
        print()

And prepare a Hello World (including a newline) brainfuck program:

++++++++[>++++[>++>+++>+++>+<<<<-]>+>+>->>+[<]<-]>>.>---.+++++++..+++.>>.<-.<.+++.------.--------.>>+.>++.

And both paired for a execution:

$ ./readme-example.py readme-example.b
--------------------------------------------------
Running: readme-example.b
--------------------------------------------------
Hello World!

Although the newlines after Hello World! are difficult to perceive.

Using the built-in script pybrainfuck:

$ pybrainfuck readme-example.b
Hello World!

Which luckily produces the same result.
