If there are Unicode symbols in the hy2py output (as in
tests/native_test/language.hy) and the user is on Windows, and
the user is using Python3 and the user doesn't have an appropriate
codepage in the terminal for Unicode, then hy2py will fail at
encoding the output.
This fix makes sure that if encoding fails, the bytes output is shown
instead of throwing an exception and failing completely. This also
allows the hy2py tests to pass on Windows.
If the user does activate an appropriate codepage, for example,
chcp 65001
then the Unicode output will show correctly.
Converted printing code to small function to eliminate some duplicate code
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]
Make travis builds faster by splitting requirements into
requirements-travis.txt, which contains all the requirements necessary
for running tests, documentation related packages are omitted and added
as a part of requirements-dev.txt
Additionally .travis.yml is modified to cache pip downloads, though this
feature is yet to be rolled out for the free tier
A CONTRIBUTING.rst is added to the root of the repo, as Github
automatically recognizes this for incoming PRs
(ref: https://github.com/blog/1184-contributing-guidelines)
Most of the information is directly borrowed from the existing hacking
docs, which is restructured to refer to this file instead for
contribution guidelines
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.
