participating in the py2c project

[wrndl...@gmail.com]

I would like to participate in the py2c project. I am a computer engineering student, and I'm very familiar with C. I have taught myself python as well. I have industry experience programming in C.

Hello All,
  I would like to join this project.. I'm 15, and just did an intern for a month, for a company that uses Python. This looks an interesting project, so I thought I should join.

  Sorry, but the project is in a dormant stage as I'm busy with other things.

That's what I was told..

Specifically I'm busy with https://github.com/RamchandraApte/unvanquished-installer .

If you don't mind, may the two of us (me and wrndl...@gmail.com) bring this project to life? (If it's fine with him too..)

Ramachandra,
    Thanks. I have started working on this project and will soon post it on Github. I'll post the link here then.

P.S: The code and test are gonna be heavily re-factored.

"wrndllmllr" and Pradyun, I've added both of you as a committers. Feel free to work on py2c as you wish.

Hi,

   I went in looked a little more closer into the googlecode page. I like the idea of converting to pure C. But I think it's better to stick to conversion to pure C . Even if you guys think C++ conversion(I don't) is worth it, we would be better off focusing on C first and then adding C++. 

What do you guys think?

@Ramchandra: Hi, Do you think you can put up a rough Wiki of the existing codeflow? It may help reduce contribution time for a new user, and might* speed-up  development.

*-- Not sure it's worth it at this activity level.

Dear All,

    I've started to work on converting the Python AST into some kind of C AST with some C-related stuff (like type of variable), from which to generate the C-code. It also allows us another level of checks/conversions to see what exactly the code is... I feel It's easier to maintain than the current implementation.
Currently, I have a working number (float and int) Python - C conversion system, with enough tests (~98% coverage, with ~2% coming from the if __name__ == '__main__': checks)

Before I commit, I have to ask: Are you guys fine with my approach?

I also have a few doubts and logical questions:

• If we are to support a good subset of Python, we also need to figure out some way by which we can "emulate" Error - Handling in the C code... So, any Ideas?
• How are we supposed to handle files, for-loops, iterables (like lists, tuples, generators, strings), generator functions, classes (we could skip classes till we shift to C++, if we ever do that is)?
• Should we create a C module that could be included if the Python code has some stuff that is not easily or directly translate-able to C code? That would really make it very easy for us to handle stuff in (2.) but I'm not really sure..

PS: Should we shift to Git? (not GitHub, just Git) It's easier and more user-friendly (according to me)?

Regards/Thanking you,

Pradyun S Gedam (In love with Python!!)

I actually think the opposite is true! — converting to C++ first (that'll be easier I think) and then to C.
