Bython
Python with braces. Because Python is awesome, but whitespace is awful.
Bython is a Python preprosessor which translates curly brackets into indentation.

Key features
-
"Forget" about indentation. You should still write beautiful code, but if you mess up with tabs/spaces, or copy one piece of code to another that uses a different indentation style, it won't break.
-
Uses Python for interpretation, which means all of your existing modules, like NumPy and Matplotlib, still work.
Code example
def print_message(num_of_times) {
for i in range(num_of_times) {
print("Bython is awesome!");
}
}
if __name__ == "__main__" {
print_message(10);
}
Installation
You can install Bython directly from PyPI using pip (with or without sudo -H, depending on your Python installation):
$ sudo -H pip3 install bython
If for some reason you want to install it from the git repository, you can use git clone and do a local install instead:
$ git clone https://github.com/mathialo/bython.git
$ cd bython
$ sudo -H pip3 install .
The git version is sometimes a tiny bit ahead of the PyPI version, but not significantly.
To uninstall, simply run
$ sudo pip3 uninstall bython
which will undo all the changes.
Quick intro
Bython works by first translating Bython-files (suggested file ending: .by) into Python-files, and then using Python to run them. You therefore need a working installation of Python for Bython to work.
To run a Bython program, simply type
$ bython source.by arg1 arg2 ...
to run source.by with arg1, arg2, ... as command line arguments. If you want more details on how to run Bython files (flags, etc), type
$ bython -h
to print the built-in help page. You can also consult the manual page by typing
$ man bython
Bython also includes a translator from Python to Bython. This is found via the py2by command:
$ py2by test.py
This will create a Bython file called test.by. A full explanation of py2by, is found by typing
$ py2by -h
or by consulting the man page:
$ man py2by

Structure of the repository
At the moment, Bython is written in Python. The git repository is structured into 4 directories:
bythoncontains a Python package containing the parser and other utilities used by the main scriptetccontains manual pages and other auxillary filesscriptscontains the runnable Python scripts, ie the ones run from the shelltestcasescontains a couple of sample *.by and *.py files intended for testing the implementation
