Implementing C++ Semantics in Python
This project is an experiment.
Please don't use it in any sensitive context.
pip install cpppygit clone https://github.com/tmr232/cpppy.git
cd cpppy
poetry install
poetry shellImport magic inside a module and watch the magic happen.
Note that it only works inside modules. Importing it in an interactive shell or a Jupyter Notebook won't work.
That said, functions from said modules can be imported and used in regular Python code.
# examples/greeter.py
from cpp import magic
class Greeter:
# First, a private member variable
name: str
public()
# Then some public methods
def Greeter(name):
# Good Python is selfless Python
this.name = name
print(f"Hello, {this.name}!")
def _Greeter():
# Yes, this is a destructor
# Pretend the _ is a ~
print(f"Goodbye, {this.name}.")
# This is the main function. It just runs.
# Calling it explicitly would be silly.
def main():
greeter1 = Greeter(1)
greetee2 = Greeter(2)>>> python examples/greeter.py
Hello, 1!
Hello, 2!
Goodbye, 2.
