pythonji
Write Python with Emojis.
Inspiration
Marc Garcia gave a wonderful lightning talk at EuroSciPy 2018 in Trento, where he pointed out some obvious deficiencies in Python's handling of unicode. For instance, code like the following is not supported:
import pandas as ?
Installation
? is available on PyPI. Install it with pip
:
$ python -m pip install pythonji
Using ?
? installs as pythonji
. ? code files have the suffix .?
. You can run a ? code file as follows:
$ pythonji file.?
Example
Save the following code to the file ?.?
:
import pandas as ?
from numpy import random as ?
# Define a dataframe and print it to the console
? = ?.DataFrame(
{
"?": ["?", "?", "?"],
"?️": ["Panda", "Python", "Lion"],
"?": ?.randint(2, 5, size=3),
},
).set_index("?")
print(?)
# Do some arithmetic with the dataframe
? = f" Pythonji {' '.join(?.index)}"
? = ?.loc["?", "?"] + ?.loc["?", "?"]
print(? * ?)
You can run the code as follows:
$ pythonji ?.?
? ?
?
? Panda 2
? Python 2
? Lion 4
Pythonji ? ? ? Pythonji ? ? ? Pythonji ? ? ? Pythonji ? ? ?
Limitations
- ? currently only handles single script files. It can import any regular Python module, but unfortunately not ? modules.
- Sadly,
pip
does not currently handle unicode command names. Ideally, we want the executable to be named?
instead ofpythonji
. - Black unfortunately can not handle ? code. Does anybody want to contribute to ⬛, a formatter for ??
