This version is much simpler.
At the point that the exception is raised, we don't have access to
the actual source, just the current expression. but as the
exception percolates up, we can intercept it, add the source and
the re-raise it.
Then at the final point, in the cmdline handler, we can choose to
let the entire traceback print, or just the simpler, direct error
message.
And even with the full traceback, the last bit is nicely formatted
just like the shorter, simpler message.
The error message is colored if clint is installed, but to avoid
yet another dependency, you get monochrome without clint.
I'm sure there is a better way to do the markup, the current method
is kludgy but works.
I wish there was more shared code between HyTypeError and LexException
but they are kind of different in some fundamental ways.
This doesn't work (yet) with runtime errors generated from Python,
like NameError, but I have a method that can catch NameError and turn it
into a more pleasing output.
Finally, there is no obvious way to raise HyTypeError from pure Hy code,
so methods in core/language.hy throw ugly TypeError/ValueError.
There was a couple of duplicate imports and type checkings in the
codebase. So I added a new module to unify all Python 2 and 3
compatibility codes.
Also, this is a somewhat common pattern in Python. See Jinja2 for
example:
https://github.com/mitsuhiko/jinja2/blob/master/jinja2/_compat.py
A macro is available in the module where it was defined and
in any module that does a require of the defining module.
Only macros defined in hy.core are globally available.
Fixes#181
We compile the evaluated operand, separating the body (statements)
from the expression. We then eval() those separately, and return
the evaluated expression.
Fixes#106
Note: This is implemented by replacing all calls to Python's
builtin "compile" function by calls to hy.importer.compile_,
which adds the "future division" flag. Anyone using "compile"
in future work will have to remember this.
We can know use any amount and type of bytes to build a HyString, meaning we
can use Unicode and UTF-8 for our function and variables.
Eat that, snake!
