This interpreter supports a subset of Python.

• string
• if, while, for
• functions
• lists and dictionaries

This project is using .Net Core 2.1+

Copy the test scripts and examples:

• check_output.py
• extension_examples.py
• script.py
• test_script.py

from "/test" to the build output directory

** Follow the intro video (2 minutes) **

dotnet Interpreter.dll test

This is the command used in the intro video. It runs "test_script.py" through the interpreter.

dotnet Interpreter.dll

This is the default mode, which runs "script.py" through the interpreter, with a good deal of logging. The major intermediate stages of the interpreter are printed out: tokenization, intermediate code, and program statements. This is a good way to learn how the interpreter works.

dotnet Interpreter.dll extension

This runs the "extension_examples.py", which is an example of interpreted code interacting with compiled code. For more information, see:

• the documentation (/doc/interpreter.docx), section "Extension Examples" near the end
• the code inside Program.cs

Program.cs :: Program :: debug()

• This is the default mode of the demo program. It prints out intermediate stages of the interpreter and is a good way to learn how the interpreter works.
• Try something easy in "script.py", like:

x = 2
x += 1 + 2 * 3
print(x) # 9

• Design - this gives a high level view of how interpreter features work
• Implementation - provides more code level detail about the interpreter features
• Extension Examples - how to interact with compiled code
