zhpy 1.1

Write python language in chinese

zhpy is the full feature python language with fully tested chinese keywords, variables, and parameters support, independent on python version, bundle with command line tool, interpreter, pluggable keyword system and great document.

zhpy on python is good for Taiwan and China beginners to learn python in our native language.

The core of zhpy is a lightweight python module and a chinese source convertor based on python, which provides interpreter and command line tool to translate zhpy code to python. zhpy integrated a setuptools-based plugin system for keyword reuse. The zhpy code written in traditional and simplified chinese could be translated and converted to natual python code. Thus it could be execute as nature python code and be used in normal python programs.

Use ‘zhpy’ command instead of “python” in command line to execute source code wrote in Chinese and English.

zhpy provide a method ‘zh_exec’ that allow to embed chinese script in python, and zhpy could be used as the chinese script in shell as well.
