pyxx

Python but with a C/C++ style.

WARNING: Please don't use for real code, this will change and some things are very broken.

You can now write x++; (and the -- as well)
Lines end with a semicolon
{} for blocks not indentation
! instead of "not"
|| and && instead of "or" and "and"
"true" and "false" instead of "True" and "False"
Multi-line lambda functions ex. [](...) {...}

The code gets transpiled into regular python by pyxx.

pyxx main.pyxx -> main.py

import random;

computer = random.randint(1, 10);
user = -1;
while user != computer {
  user = int(input("Enter a number: "));
  if user < computer {
    print("Too low");
  } else {
    print("Too high");
  }
}

converts into

import random

computer = random.randint(1, 10)
user = -1
while user != computer :
        user = int(input("Enter a number: "))
        if user < computer :
                print("Too low")
        else :
                print("Too high")

Building

Unix

$ cmake .
$ make

Windows

Open in Visual Studio, go to open then CMake, select CMakeLists.txt, then Ctrl-F5 or use the GUI.

Sorry Makefile chads, had to switch to cmake for windows users. make was throwing a fit on windows.

Usage

$ ./pyxx [FILES]

Future Plans

Syntax highligting for vim, emacs, and vscode
Maybe.. make python's optional static typing required

Know issues

None right now, feel free to make an issue if you find one as I am sure that their are some

FAQ

Why the name pyxx? Because c++ files can have .cxx instead of .cpp
