| tinypy is a minimalist implementation of python in 64k of code |
| |
| "batteries not included (yet)" |
| "lua for people who like python" |
| |
| what tinypy is: |
| * parser and bytecode compiler written in tinypy |
| * fully bootstrapped |
| * luaesque virtual machine with garbage collection written in C |
| it's "stackless" sans any "stackless" features |
| * cross-platform :) it runs under windows / linux / macosx |
| * a fairly decent subset of python |
| o classes and single inheritance |
| o functions with variable or keyword arguments |
| o strings, lists, dicts, numbers |
| o modules, list comprehensions |
| o exceptions with full traceback |
| o some builtins |
| - an easy C-API for building modules |
| - 64k of code (for at least some definition of 64k) |
| - interesting, educational, nifty, and useful |
| - well tested |
| - easy to read, maintain, and use |
| - fun fun fun!!! |
| - you can static compile it and its modules (MIT license, so "it's all good!") |
| |
| what tinypy will be: |
| - sandboxed |
| - a Cpython module (setup.py install) |
| - including some batteries (math, random, re, marshal, pygame?!) |
| - Visual Studio compatible |
| - documented |
| |
| what tinypy might be: |
| - as fast as python (maybe faster?) |
| - including a JIT module |
| - C89 compatible |
| - C++ compatible (like lua) |
| - a shed-skin module |
| - including a dynamic loading module |
| |
| what tinypy won't be: |
| - a full implementation of python |
| - totally compatible with python |
| |
| alternatives to tinypy: |
| - lua |

| - pymite |
| - pyvm |
| - cython |
| - pypy |
| - jython |
