textual-tree-sitter-languages 0.0.0a0

Binary Python wheels for all tree sitter languages.

Binary Python wheels for all tree sitter languages.

This is a fork of py-tree-sitter-languages which adds support for Python 3.13.

Note that it does not add support for the newer tree-sitter versions - this is primarily intended to ensure Textual applications can use syntax highlighting on modern Python versions.

py-tree-sitter is a fantastic library that provides Python bindings for the even more fantastic tree-sitter parsing library.

py-tree-sitter-languages provides binary Python wheels for all tree sitter languages. The binary wheels remove the need to download and compile support for individual languages.

Install

pip install tree_sitter_languages

Source installs are not supported. To see how the binary wheels are built, look at:

1. setup.py — Python package setup.

2. repos.txt — Text file that contains a list of included language repositories and their commit hashes.

3. build.py — Python script to download and build the language repositories.

4. .github/workflows/release.yml — GitHub action to invoke cibuildwheel and release to PyPI.

Usage

from tree_sitter_languages import get_language, get_parser

language = get_language('python')
parser = get_parser('python')

That’s the whole API!

Refer to py-tree-sitter for the language and parser API. Notice the Language.build_library(...) step can be skipped! The binary wheel includes the language binary.

Demo

Want to know something crazy? Python lacks multi-line comments. Whhaaa!?!

It’s really not such a big deal. Instead of writing

"""
My awesome
multi-line
comment.
"""

Simply write

# My awesome
# multi-line
# comment.

So multi-line comments are made by putting multiple single-line comments in sequence. Amazing!

Now, how to find all the strings being used as comments?

Start with some example Python code

example = """
#!shebang
# License blah blah (Apache 2.0)
"This is a module docstring."

a = 1

'''This
is
not
a
multiline
comment.'''

b = 2

class Test:
    "This is a class docstring."

    'This is bogus.'

    def test(self):
        "This is a function docstring."

        "Please, no."

        return 1

c = 3
"""

Notice a couple things:

1. Python has module, class, and function docstrings that bare a striking resemblance to the phony string comments.

2. Python supports single-quoted, double-quoted, triple-single-quoted, and triple-double-quoted strings (not to mention prefixes for raw strings, unicode strings, and more).

Creating a regular expression to capture the phony string comments would be exceedingly difficult!

Enter tree-sitter

from tree_sitter_languages import get_language, get_parser

language = get_language('python')
parser = get_parser('python')

Tree-sitter creates an abstract syntax tree (actually, a concrete syntax tree) and supports queries

tree = parser.parse(example.encode())
node = tree.root_node
print(node.sexp())

Look for statements that are a single string expression

stmt_str_pattern = '(expression_statement (string)) @stmt_str'
stmt_str_query = language.query(stmt_str_pattern)
stmt_strs = stmt_str_query.captures(node)
stmt_str_points = set(
    (node.start_point, node.end_point) for node, _ in stmt_strs
)
print(stmt_str_points)

Now, find those statement string expressions that are actually module, class, or function docstrings

doc_str_pattern = """
    (module . (comment)* . (expression_statement (string)) @module_doc_str)

    (class_definition
        body: (block . (expression_statement (string)) @class_doc_str))

    (function_definition
        body: (block . (expression_statement (string)) @function_doc_str))
"""
doc_str_query = language.query(doc_str_pattern)
doc_strs = doc_str_query.captures(node)
doc_str_points = set(
    (node.start_point, node.end_point) for node, _ in doc_strs
)

With the set of string expression statements and the set of docstring statements, the locations of all phony string comments is

comment_strs = stmt_str_points - doc_str_points
print(sorted(comment_strs))
