coverage summary.\n\nPurpose\n-------\nIn many scenarios that require some form of lazy evaluation, it is sufficient to employ lambda expressions, generators/iterables, or abstract syntax trees (via the `ast \u003chttps://docs.python.org/3/library/ast.html\u003e`__ and/or `inspect \u003chttps://docs.python.org/3/library/inspect.html\u003e`__ modules). However, there are certain cases where none of these are an option (for example, employing lambda expressions precludes serialization and employing the `ast \u003chttps://docs.python.org/3/library/ast.html\u003e`__ or `inspect \u003chttps://docs.python.org/3/library/inspect.html\u003e`__ modules usually involves introducing boilerplate that expands the solution beyond one line of code). The purpose of this library is to fill those gaps and make it possible to write concise symbolic expressions that are embedded directly within the concrete syntax of the language.\n\nInstallation and Usage\n----------------------\nThis library is available as a `package on PyPI \u003chttps://pypi.org/project/symbolism\u003e`__::\n\n    python -m pip install symbolism\n\nThe library can be imported in the usual ways::\n\n    import symbolism\n    from symbolism import *\n\nExamples\n^^^^^^^^\n\n.. |symbol| replace:: ``symbol``\n.. _symbol: https://symbolism.readthedocs.io/en/0.4.0/_source/symbolism.html#symbolism.symbolism.symbol\n\nThe library makes it possible to construct symbolic Python expressions (as instances of the |symbol|_ class) that can be evaluated at a later time. A symbolic expression involving addition of integers is created in the example below::\n\n    \u003e\u003e\u003e from symbolism import *\n    \u003e\u003e\u003e addition = symbol(lambda x, y: x + y)\n    \u003e\u003e\u003e summation = addition(symbol(1), symbol(2))\n\nThe expression above can be evaluated at a later time::\n\n    \u003e\u003e\u003e summation.evaluate()\n    3\n\nInstances of |symbol|_ are compatible with `common built-in infix and prefix arithmetic, logical, and relational operators \u003chttps://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#emulating-numeric-types\u003e`__. When an operator is applied to one or more |symbol|_ instances, a new |symbol|_ instance is created::\n\n    \u003e\u003e\u003e summation = symbol(1) + symbol(2)\n    \u003e\u003e\u003e summation.evaluate()\n    3\n\nPre-defined constants are also provided for all built-in operators supported by the |symbol|_ class::\n\n    \u003e\u003e\u003e conjunction = and_(symbol(True), symbol(False))\n    \u003e\u003e\u003e conjunction.evaluate()\n    False\n\nDevelopment\n-----------\nAll installation and development dependencies are fully specified in ``pyproject.toml``. The ``project.optional-dependencies`` object is used to `specify optional requirements \u003chttps://peps.python.org/pep-0621\u003e`__ for various development tasks. This makes it possible to specify additional options (such as ``docs``, ``lint``, and so on) when performing installation using `pip \u003chttps://pypi.org/project/pip\u003e`__::\n\n    python -m pip install .[docs,lint]\n\nDocumentation\n^^^^^^^^^^^^^\nThe documentation can be generated automatically from the source files using `Sphinx \u003chttps://www.sphinx-doc.org\u003e`__::\n\n    python -m pip install .[docs]\n    cd docs\n    sphinx-apidoc -f -E --templatedir=_templates -o _source .. \u0026\u0026 make html\n\nTesting and Conventions\n^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\nAll unit tests are executed and their coverage is measured when using `pytest \u003chttps://docs.pytest.org\u003e`__ (see the ``pyproject.toml`` file for configuration details)::\n\n    python -m pip install .[test]\n    python -m pytest\n\nAlternatively, all unit tests are included in the module itself and can be executed using `doctest \u003chttps://docs.python.org/3/library/doctest.html\u003e`__::\n\n    python src/symbolism/symbolism.py -v\n\nStyle conventions are enforced using `Pylint \u003chttps://pylint.pycqa.org\u003e`__::\n\n    python -m pip install .[lint]\n    python -m pylint src/symbolism\n\nContributions\n^^^^^^^^^^^^^\nIn order to contribute to the source code, open an issue or submit a pull request on the `GitHub page \u003chttps://github.com/reity/symbolism\u003e`__ for this library.\n\nVersioning\n^^^^^^^^^^\nThe version number format for this library and the changes to the library associated with version number increments conform with `Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 \u003chttps://semver.org/#semantic-versioning-200\u003e`__.\n\nPublishing\n^^^^^^^^^^\nThis library can be published as a `package on PyPI \u003chttps://pypi.org/project/symbolism\u003e`__ by a package maintainer. First, install the dependencies required for packaging and publishing::\n\n    python -m pip install .[publish]\n\nEnsure that the correct version number appears in ``pyproject.toml``, and that any links in this README document to the Read the Docs documentation of this package (or its dependencies) have appropriate version numbers. Also ensure that the Read the Docs project for this library has an `automation rule \u003chttps://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/automation-rules.html\u003e`__ that activates and sets as the default all tagged versions. Create and push a tag for this version (replacing ``?.?.?`` with the version number)::\n\n    git tag ?.?.?\n    git push origin ?.?.?\n\nRemove any old build/distribution files. Then, package the source into a distribution archive::\n\n    rm -rf build dist src/*.egg-info\n    python -m build --sdist --wheel .\n\nFinally, upload the package distribution archive to `PyPI \u003chttps://pypi.org\u003e`__::\n\n    python -m twine upload dist/*\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Freity%2Fsymbolism","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Freity%2Fsymbolism","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Freity%2Fsymbolism/lists"}
