Project description

Pythonesque is a package of functions to make Python code more readable to non-Python programmers.

do not understand

Python is one of the most readable programming languages.

However, there are some areas which are are not intuitive to non-Python progammers, and especially non-programmers.

For example, the range() function and its parameters can be a source of confusion.

Other programming constructs, eg. modulus operator, are obvious to programmers, but can be a real stumbling block for others.

The aim of this package is to to facilitate writing pseudo code (that is actually Python code) in order to to convey logic more easily to non-Python programmers, or perhaps even non-programmers.

If Python code can be written to resemble pseudo code, it would be a great way to:

  • communicate your ideas

  • demonstrate logic

  • allow stakeholders to play with your pseudo code

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install Pythonesque.

pip install pythonesque

Usage

Example:

from pythonesque import consecutive_numbers
# or specify sub-modules:
# from pythonesque.series import consecutive_numbers

# much less confusing to non-programmers than "range(10, 0, -1)"
for count in consecutive_numbers(10, 1):
    print(count)
print("Blast off!")
