zyntex 0.2.3

A high-level Python package to parse and generate Zig code.

Zyntex - Zig code parser for Python

Zyntex is a Python library that allows you to parse and generate Zig code at a high level. Function bodies and other low-level elements are currently returned as raw strings. Currently, it can parse Zig code written in version 0.15.1 - the supported parsing version will be continuously updated in the future.

Internally, it uses bindings to Zig's std AST parser, making it both fast and memory-efficient. Important: currently bindings are only available for windows-x86_64, macos-x86_64, and linux-x86_64. For more information, read the docs.

Be aware that the project is at a very early stage of development and is actively being developed.

Features

• Parse Zig source from strings or files.
• Code generation - emitting Zig code from Python objects via premade printers.
• High-performance, low-memory parsing powered by Zig’s std parser.
• Easy-to-use, Pythonic API designed for inspection Zig code.
• Zero-dependency - the project requires no external dependencies on either the Zig side or the Python side.

Installation

pip install zyntex

Minimal example

from typing import cast

from zyntex.code_generation.premade import DefaultCodePrinter
from zyntex.parsing.syntax import VariableDeclaration
from zyntex.parsing import SourceCode

code_printer = DefaultCodePrinter()
src = SourceCode("const result: usize = 15 + 15;")

variable = cast(VariableDeclaration, src.content[0])
variable.is_public = True
print(code_printer.print(src)) # pub const result: usize = 15 + 15;
