Minimalistic Python

This is educational mini-Python interpreter build under the guidance of yandex practicum. The project consists of several independent parts:

1. Lexical analyzer — reads symbols stream and groups them into meaningful sequences called lexemes. Each lexeme is then used to generate so-called token.

2. Syntax analyzer — reads token stream and generates abstract syntax tree (AST). Each inner node represents some kind of operation, where child nodes are its arguments.

3. Runtime module — traverses AST, completes node actions according to their semantics, updates symbols table, etc.

Documentation might make things a bit more clear

Building:

Requirements:

• GCC or alternative (supporting C++17 or later)
• Cmake (tested with 3.24)
• [optional] Doxygen (tested with 1.9.5)

Preparations:

git clone https://github.com/jys1670/mini-python
cd mini-python
mkdir build && cd build

Building and running main executable:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
cmake --build . --config Release --target mini-python
./mini-python # reads from stdin

Updating documentation:

cmake --build . --config Release --target doxygen
