[ANN] Pycopy/pycopy-lib 3.1.0, a minimalist Python dialect

Show key headers only | View raw

Hello,

Pycopy is a minimalist, lightweight, resource-efficient implementation
of Python(-like) language. Pycopy to CPython is the same thing as
Scheme to Common Lisp. Executable sizes of 300-400KB, instant startup,
no need to carry around large monolithic library consisting largely of
legacy modules - some but not all of Pycopy's features.

https://github.com/pfalcon/pycopy

3.1 release improves compatibility with CPython object model, as well
as compatibility in other area. Some small, but useful extensions are
added, e.g. as discussed on python-ideas:
https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/thread/PTUMG2FPPVIZI2PS53T7H5JRIGWICGE4/

Pycopy's standard library, pycopy-lib
https://github.com/pfalcon/pycopy-lib , also sees continued
development, in particular in the area of AST manipulation, in
preparation for pure Python compiler implementation to experiment with
various optimizations.

Prebuilt binaries of this release are available at
https://github.com/pfalcon/pycopy/releases/tag/v3.1.0


More details about Pycopy
-------------------------

Pycopy strives to define a core language features suitable to easily
develop efficient software, while allow for extensibility to a wider
(and much more bloaty and less efficient) set of features for
compatibility with existing software.

Pycopy doesn't come with bulky hazardous lead-acid batteries. Instead,
a set of a few core modules are included builtin: inspired, being a
noticeable subset, and a little bit of extension, of the corresponding
CPython modules - clearly namespaced, to still allow room to implement
fully compatible CPython modules. These new modules aren't intended to
be an adhoc thing, just an alternative API with a constraint of
minimality. Implementation of that API also exists for CPython (WIP),
allowing Pycopy -> CPython compatibility.

The rest is handled outside the core language, via a separate project,
pycopy-lib: https://github.com/pfalcon/pycopy-lib , which strives to
port CPython stdlib to Pycopy, while, where needed, provide more
lightweight module variants and extensions.

Pycopy is a full-stack project, with ecosystem including a web
micro-framework, pure-Python Python parser, FFMPEG bindings, SDL
bindings, LLVM bindings, etc.: https://github.com/topics/pycopy
