Python 3.x is patched in a way that integrates `.hy` source files into
Pythons default `importlib` machinery. In Python 2.7, a PEP-302 "importer"
and "loader" is implemented according to the standard `import` logic (via
`pkgutil` and later pure-Python `imp` package code).
In both cases, the entry-point for the loaders is through `sys.path_hooks` only.
As well, the import semantics have been updated all throughout to utilize
`importlib` and follow aspects of PEP-420. This, along with some light
patches, should allow for basic use of `runpy`, `py_compile` and `reload`.
In all cases, if a `.hy` file is shadowed by a `.py`, Hy will silently use
`.hy`.
When set, it will conflict with any tests that generate bytecode
because they don't expect it to be set.
Fixable by sanitize the environment before forking, but we can't do
anything about import tests.
This is a pipenv default, and possibly a sane flag to set while doing
Hy development, so lets not let it be a hazard for developers to trip
over.
Instead of just checking that hy2py outputs a nonempty string and doesn't crash, we check that a hy2py-generated Python program works the same as the original Hy program.
This test suggests my plan to make hy2py output real Python has succeeded, so I updated NEWS accordingly.
This commit adds -E support for Hy. Similar to Python, hy will ignore
all PYTHON* environment variables, e.g. PYTHONPATH and PYTHONHOME,
that might be set.
Importing or executing a Hy file now loads the byte-compiled version if it exists and is up to date, and if not, the source is byte-compiled after it's parsed.
This change can speed up Hy a lot. Here are some examples comparing run times of the current master (491b474e) to this commit, on my laptop with Python 3.6:
- `nosetests --exclude='test_bin'` goes from 3.8 s to 0.7 s (a 5-fold speedup)
- `hy -c '(print "hello world")` goes from 0.47 s to 0.20 s (a 2-fold speedup)
- Rogue TV's startup goes from 3.6 s to 0.4 s (a 9-fold speedup)
Accompanying changes include:
- `setup.py` now creates and installs bytecode for `hy.core`, `hy.contrib`, and `hy.extra`.
- The `hyc` command under Python 3 now creates bytecode in `__pycache__`, as usual for Python 3, instead of putting the `.pyc` right next to the source file like Python 2 does.
I've removed a test of `hy.extra.anaphoric.a-if` that triggers #1268 when the test file is byte-compiled and then hits some weird `macroexpand` bug or something when I try to work around that—Nose crashes when trying to produce an error message, and I can't seem to replicate the bug without Nose.
jcrocholl/pep8 (used by flake8, used in Hy's continuous integration
builds) introduced an imports-at-top-of-file check in 1.6.0 and a
line-breaks-around-binary-operators check in 1.6.2. This commit makes
nonfunctional changes to bring the Hy codebase in compliance with this
tool, fixing #764.
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.
Example:
(defmain [&rest args]
(print "now we're having a fun time!")
(print args))
Which outputs:
$ hy test.hy
now we're having a fun time!
(['test.hy'],)
Includes documentation and tests.
The hy2py tool has been very useful for me, but most of the time, it's
only a part of its output that one is interested in. The whole output,
with source code, AST and python code together is one big monstrosity.
So instead of printing all that, lets have a few handy command-line
options to control which part gets printed.
By default, only the generated python source is, as that's what the name
of the tool implies.
Also, don't run it. That's what hy is for.

There's no reason why one would need to choose between --spy and -i, so
pass down options.spy to run_icommand, and then to HyREPL, so we can
have both.

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.
`hy --spy` fails on hy 0.9.11.
$ hy --spy
hy 0.9.11
=> (type "hy")
