apply now mangles strings and keywords according to the Hy mangling
rules (by using the same function, now imported from
hy.lex.parser). With this change, if the dict passed to apply has
keywords, strings or quoted symbols, they'll get mangled, to turn them
into proper keys.
This only works for the cases where the keys are directly in the apply
params. A previously deffed dict, or key through a variable will not be
mangled.
This closes#219.

To make it easier to write --init-- functions, defclass will now check
any (setv) expressions (and its property list), to find any --init--
declarations, and append a nil to the end.

For easier macro writing purposes, allow an empty (cond), that simply
returns nil. Closes#904.

To mirror the behaviour of (setv), allow an empty (del) too: one that
shall return nil. Closes#905.

defclass now has a new syntax:
(defclass Name [BaseList]
[property value
property value] ;; optional
(defn method [self]
self.property))
Anything after the optional property list (which will be translated to a
setv within the class context) will be added to the class body. This
allows one to have side effects and complex expressions within the class
definition.
As a side effect, defining methods is much more friendly now!
Closes#850.

xor with more than two input parameters is not well defined and people
have different expectations on how it should behave. Avoid confusion by
sticking with two parameters only.
Added xor to complement and, or, not operators. Standard python
falsey/truthy semantics are followed. This implementation works for
two or more parameters.
The `with-decorator` special form is not the most ergonomic—this commit
introduces a new builtin `#@` reader macro that expands to an invocation
of `with-decorator`. To support this, `reader_macroexpand` is made to
also look in the default `None` namespace, in imitation of how
regular (non-reader) macros defined in hy.core are looked up. The
docstring of `hy.macros.reader` is also edited slightly for accuracy.
This in the matter of issue #856.
Python 3 supports keyword-only arguments as described in the immortal
PEP 3102. This commit implements keyword-only argument support for Hy
using a `&kwonly` lambda-list-keyword with semantics analogous how
`&optional` arguments are handled: `&kwonly` arguments are either a
symbol, in which case the keyword argument so named is mandatory, or a
two-element list, the first of which is the symbolic name of the keyword
argument and the second of which is its default value if not
supplied. If Hy is running under Python 2, attempting to use `&kwonly`
args will raise a HyTypeError.
This effort is with the aim of resolving #453.
Expressions can sometimes contain itertools.islice objects, which we can
only walk if we force them into a list. To do this, the walk function
has to be taught that collections that are not instances of list should
be forced into a list.

Python 3.5's PEP 448 ("Additional Unpacking Generalizations") allows the
iterable- and dictionary- unpacking operators to be used more than once;
the implementation (see https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/a65f685ba8c0)
gets rid of the optional `starargs` and `kwargs` arguments to `ast.Call`
and `ast.ClassDef`, instead using `ast.Starred` and `ast.keyword`
objects inside of the normal `args` and `keywords` lists,
respectively. This commit allows Hy's `apply` to work correctly with
this revised AST when running under Python 3.5.
As reported in issue #748, there was a bug in which passing a lambda
as the value of a :keyword argument would fail—
$ hy --spy
hy 0.10.1 using CPython(default) 3.4.0 on Linux
=> (sorted (range 10) :key (fn [x] (- x)))
from hy.core.language import range
sorted(range(10), key=_hy_anon_fn_1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name '_hy_anon_fn_1' is not defined
The function call would appear in the generated AST without being
preceded by the appropriate function definition corresponding to the
anonymous function argument value in the Hy source, causing either a
NameError (as in the example above), or erroneous reuse of whatever
function was already pointed to by the `_hy_anon_fn_` name referenced
in the list of keywords passed to `ast.Call`.
This commit aims to fix the problem by handling it in same way that
the expression/statement gap is bridged many other places in the
compiler, by adding the compiled value of the keyword argument to the
Result object being built during `_compile_collect`, with the
understanding that any Python statements implied by the argument value
will be appropriately preserved therein.
Python 3.5 will have a new commercial-at infix operator with the magic
methods __matmul__, __rmatmul__, and __imatmul__, unused as yet in the
standard library, but intended to represent matrix multiplication in
numerical code; see PEP 465 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0465/)
for details. This commit (developed against Python 3.5 alpha 3) brings
support for this operator to Hy when running under Python 3.5 (or,
hypothetically as yet, greater). For Hy under Python <= 3.4, attempting
to use `@` in function-call position currently results in a NameError;
this commit does not change that behavior.
This is intended to resolve#668.
This code is heavily, *heavily* based off of Guillermo Vaya
(willyfrog)'s work... instead of defining its own keyword arg though, it
uses the "standard" :kwarg type, which is the main difference from
willyfrog's original branch.
Included tests and some documentation in the tutorial.
Also documented "apply" separately as an example of reproducing
*args and **kwargs.
When (fn) or (defn) does not get an arglist as first/second parameter,
emit a more descriptive error message, rather than an ugly traceback.
Fixes#716.

Our MetaImporter was being inserted at the end of sys.meta_path.
For Python prior to 3.3, this was fine since sys.meta_path
was empty by default. As of the completion of PEP 302 in Py3.3 and
later, there are several importers registered by default. One of
these was trying (and failing) to import simple Hy modules,
resulting in a failure to import anything inside __init__.hy.
This change simply inserts the Hy-specific importer at the front
of the list.
This was noted in issue #620 (great catch @algernon)
A tribute to Portal 2, this function will return an infinite list of the
contents of the AUTHORS file on GitHub master (assuming requests is
installed). Except, the macro does this, the function never gets called,
it is purely there for tribute reasons.

Python has the keyword.iskeyword method we can leverage for Python
keywords, but we also need to address Hy builtins like 'get' or
'slice'.
And to make behavior compatible with Python 2 or 3, we also make
a special case to prevent assignment to False, True or None as
well as the Hy versions: false, true, null, and nil.
For non-Hy modules, we also check to make sure the symbol is not
part of the compiler. This allows shadow.hy to override "+" but
prevents general use from re-defn-ing 'get' or 'do'.
As noted in #600, Python 3 allows a return inside a generator
method, that raises a StopIteration and passes the return value
inside the 'value' attr of the exception.
To allow this behaviour we simple set 'contains_yield' while compiling
'yield', thus allowing a return statement, but only for Python 3. Then
when compiling the try-except, we check for contains_yield to decide
whether there will be a return.
This allows code like:
(defn gen []
(yield 3)
"goodbye")
to compile in both Py2 and Py3. The return value is simply ignored in
Python 2.
hy2py in Python 2 gives:
def g():
yield 3L
u'goodbye'
while hy2py in Python 3 gives:
def g():
yield 3
return 'goodbye'
Turns out return in yield started in Python 3.3
This new core module allows us to shadow the builtin Python operators so
they may be passed to sequence functions that expect functions:
=> (map / [1 2 3 4 5])
[1.0, 0.5, 0.3333333333333333, 0.25]
Currently, defmacro/g! doesn't respond well when it comes across a
HyObject that doesn't respond to the instance method startswith (e.g.
HyInteger, HyFloat, etc.). This updates defmacro/g! to be a little
safer when searching for the gensyms it needs to create.
This also breaks out the PY3 only tests into their own file. We need to do this because raise from is a syntax error in PY2, so we can't rely on the previous hack of catching a HyCompileError - it would compile fine through Hy and then be a syntax error in Python.
As a result:
* functions such as `nth` should work correctly on iterators;
* `nth` will raise `IndexError` (in a fashion consistent with `get`)
when the index is out of bounds;
* `take`, etc. will raise `ValueError` instead of returning
an ambiguous value if the index is negative;
* `map`, `zip`, `range`, `input`, `filter` work the same way (Py3k one)
on both Python 2 and 3 (see #523 and #331).
Also small DRYing in try handling.
Previously, writing a bare (try (foo)) would invoke Pokemon
exception catching (gotta catch 'em all) instead of the correct
behavior, which is to raise the exception if no handler is provided.
Note that this is a cute feature of Hy, as a `try` with no `except`
is a syntax error. We avoid the syntax error here because we don't
use Python's compiler, which is the only thing that can throw
Syntax Errors. :D
Fixes#555.
The yield-from that existed previously wasn't actually implementing the
full complexity of "yield from":
http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0380/#formal-semantics
... this includes passing along errors, and many other things.
Also removes the yield-from backport macro, since it does not seem
possible at present to conditionally build macros.
Thus, there is no longer yield-from on pre-python-3.3 systems.
Includes updated docs and tests to reflect all this.
One would expect the form:
> (defmacro a (&rest b) b)
> (a 1 2)
To return a tuple object but we have no Hy model so it returns a HyList.
Not sure if this is the right thing to do.
This function will recursively perform all possible macroexpansions in
the supplied form. Unfortunately, it also traverses into quasiquoted
parts, where it shouldn't, but it is a useful estimation of macro
expansion anyway.

The hy.contrib.walk module provides a few functions to walk the Hy AST,
and potentially transform it along the way. The main entry point
is (walk), which takes two functions and a form as arguments, and
applies the first (inner) function to each element of the form, building
up a data structure of the same type as the original. Then applies outer
(the second function) to the result.
Two convenience functions are provided: (postwalk) and (prewalk), which
do a depth-first, post/pre-order traversal of the form.
