Python package made for better PIP access

Reincarnation: Code Immortality Engine

💥 THE PROBLEM: CODE IS DYING 💥

Python evolves and breaks the old. Libraries like pythonnet or modules like distutils become ghosts in the digital graveyard.

🚀 THE SOLUTION: REINCARNATION ENGINE 🚀

Reincarnation is digital resurrection for your legacy Python projects. It allows you to run outdated code on modern interpreters seamlessly.

FEATURES: THE NINE LIVES OF CODE

• 🔮 Future Annotations: Uses from __future__ import annotations for lazy evaluation.
• ⚙️ AST Transpilation: Rewrites old syntax (like print x) into modern calls (print(x)) on the fly.
• 👻 Module Polyfills: Replaces removed modules (imp, distutils, Tkinter) with modern equivalents.
• 🎭 Version Spoofing: Tricks libraries into thinking they run on older Python versions.
• 🔗 Global Import Hook: Intercepts imports via sys.meta_path to provide resurrected modules.
• 🌉 Byte/String Bridge: Handles Python 2-to-3 encoding issues transparently.
• 🌐 Ghost Env: Virtual variables to satisfy legacy requirements.

🛠️ GETTING STARTED

1. Install: pip install reincarnation

2. The Ritual: Add this at the very beginning of your legacy script:

import reincarnation
reincarnation.enable_universal_resurrection() 

import tkinter 
import imp 
print 'Hello from the past!' 

⚡️ ADVANCED USAGE Define custom shims for specific variables:

import reincarnation
def my_modern_ref(dll): print(f"Linked: {dll}")

reincarnation.enable_resurrection(
    shims={"clr.AddReference": my_modern_ref}
)
