pylox

=====

pylox is Python implementation of Lox programming language which is a

demo language from [Crafting Interpreters](http://www.craftinginterpreters.com/)

book by [Bob Nystrom](https://github.com/munificent).

I'm doing this because:

1. I want to learn about language design and implementation

2. I don't want to just read the book or copy and paste the code from it

   and I want to do something else than C or Java

3. Python is my main language these days and I want to use something I'm

   most comfortable with

4. Maybe after Python version I decide to reimplement it (or make my

   own toy language) in Go. Or force myself to learn Rust which seems

   like a good idea.

5. Fun.

This is **work in progress**.

Requirements

------------

Python 3.6 for no particular reasons except f-strings are used in few

places. Other than that, it could easily be ported to even Python 2.7

(but I don't plan to).

Install it

----------

    pip install pylox

Make sure you run it with Python3, I suggest you install it inside

virtualenv.

Run it

------

from source:

    python3 -m pylox [script]

or if installed via pip:

    pylox [script]
