Extend Python syntax by defining custom string prefix. Provide function that transforms strings with your prefix.
This corresponds to Tagged Template Literals feature in JavaScript.
This project is only a toy. Technique used here shouldn't be considered as a good coding practice due to the fact how it is implemented. I don't recommend using it in production code. Hopefully it can be inspiring though.
Features
- Multiple encodings can be defined
- Multiple prefixes can be defined
- Prefixes can have more that one letter
- Encodings can take arguments (captured by regex)
- Doesn't corrupt Python syntax-error messages
Examples
Simple example is shown below. More advanced examples can be found in here.
app.py
:
# coding: x-strings
print(x"Hello World")
launcher.py
:
import xstrings
xstrings.register({'x': lambda t: t + "!!!"})
import app
Notice exclamation marks added to the end of the message:
$ python3 launcher.py
Hello World!!!
