A friendlier Python that compiles to Python

Pyro – A friendlier Python

Pyro is a programming language that feels like Python but removes the rough edges: no indentation errors, no self, no mandatory print() parentheses, and blocks end with end.

It compiles to standard Python – so you can use any Python library (NumPy, Django, TensorFlow) without change.

Why Pyro?

Feature	Python	Pyro
Blocks	Indentation sensitive	if ... end (no indentation errors)
Function definition	def	func
Method first argument	self	this (shorter)
print	print("hello")	print "hello" (or with parens)
Colons after headers	Required	Optional
Variable assignment	x = 1	make x = 1 or x = 1
Ranges	range(1,6)	1..5 (inclusive)

Example

print "Hello from Pyro!"

make x = 10
y = 20
print "Sum: " + str(x + y)

if x > 5
    print "x is large"
else
    print "x is small"
end

func greet(name)
    print "Hello, " + name
end

greet("world")

for i in 1..5
    print i
end

class Person
    constructor(name)
        this.name = name
    end
    func say_hello()
        print "My name is " + this.name
    end
end

p = Person("Pyro")
p.say_hello()

Installation

pip install pyro-lang

Usage

Compile a .pyro file to Python:

pyro compile input.pyro -o output.py

Run directly:

pyro run input.pyro

Or use as a Python module:

from pyro import compile_pyro
py_code = compile_pyro(source)
exec(py_code)

Roadmap

MVP (variables, arithmetic, if/else, loops, functions, classes)

Compile to Python source

Import system

Exception handling (try/catch)

List/dict comprehensions

Standalone bytecode compiler (direct .pyc output)

Self‑hosting (compiler written in Pyro itself)
