kandi X-RAY | iast Summary
This library provides a way of defining and transforming abstract syntax trees (ASTs) for custom languages. It can be used to help build a compiler or other program transformation system. iAST reads your language's abstract syntax from an ASDL grammar, and automatically generates node classes. A standard visitor-style framework is provided for traversing, transforming, and pattern matching over trees. Nodes are hashable, have structural equality, and support optional type checking. (Parsing is not supported and should be handled by an external parser generator.). Node definitions for the ASTs of Python 3.3 and Python 3.4 are provided out-of-the-box, along with tools for writing code templates and macros targeting Python code. However, the main framework works on ASTs for arbitrary languages.

QUESTION
My goal is to write an API search of Wikipedia that will:
- Return pages only in the category "English language films"
- Of those, return pages only beginning with the letters "Avatar" (or anything, really, just using those letters for an example)
- Of those, give me the url, the title, the date, a summary, and the main page image.
So far I've tried three things, none of which seem to be able to do exactly what I want.
PROBLEM: list=allpages
is just generally useless
Here's a search with list=allpages
:
Here's the result (just the first 3 pages):
...ANSWER
Answered 2018-May-08 at 10:09On a high level, list modules generate some list of pages (e.g. the pages most recently edited). Sometimes they include some additional information but mostly they are just meant to give you a list of pages. Prop modules operate on a list of pages and add some kind of extra information to each; the list can be determined by the client (via parameters like titles
or pageids
) or a list module (used as generator=
instead of list=
). You can use list=
and prop=
"together" but all that does is create two separate lists (one of which will be empty and not shown because there is no titles
or generator
parameter).
Your generator queries are fine; you'll need pilicense=any
if you want non-free images in the output. Maybe you found some outdated documentation that does not mention that?
You can use intitle:...
in the search term for title search (see docs).
QUESTION
I'm still trying to figure out a way to implement a DSL efficiently in Python, I've settled for ANTLR 4.X for parser generation, my problem now is that the DSL is big and I need an efficient way to specify the AST for my DSL.
I've taken a look at macropy which would be ideal if only it were python 3.6.x compatible and not 2.7.x-only.
I've found the iAST package which allows to generate python classes from a Zephyr ASDL spec. Are there any other better options I should know about for generating ASTs from an ADT spec ?
Also, I've looked at several dispatch libraries in order to write AST traversers and rewriters in a modular and composable way (trying to avoid the naive method-naming-based visitor pattern), I cannot decide which to choose (PEAK-rules? multimethods? functools dispatch?). I'd like to venture into a mixture of type and predicate-based dispatch which could take me closer to proper pattern matching, however all these libs seem rather sketchy and fragile...
Any advice ?

https://github.com/azazel75/macropy
it has a peg parser generator, scala-like case classes and pattern-matching, ideal for building transpilers in python

i have a problem with replacing a specific character in a string with another string. The problem is that i can figure out to remove the old character and i get the character and the string next to each other. here is what i did until now.
