And https://pypi.org/project/py-web-lp/
I finally made the PyWeb LP tool installable from PyPI.
I need to fix the name of the GitHub repo (some day) to make it also say py-web-lp. I should also fixup my tag cloud to say pyweblp …
more ...I almost made a terrible blunder.
See https://github.com/slott56/py-web-tool for some background. This is a "Literate Programming" tool. I started fooling around with this kind of thing back in '05 (maybe even earlier.) This is not the blunder. The whole idea of literate programming is not very …
more ...My literate programming tool, pyWeb, has moved to version 3.1 -- supporting modern Python.
Next up, version 3.2. This is a massive reworking of the data structures involved. The rework lets me use Jinja2 for templates. There's a lot of fiddliness to getting the end-of-line spacing right. Jinja has …
more ...As noted in My Shifting Understanding and A Terrible Design Mistake, I had a design that focused on serialization instead of proper modeling of the objects in question.
Specifically, I didn't start with a suitable abstract syntax tree (AST) structure. I started with an algorithmic view of "weaving" and "tangling …
more ...I've been fascinated by Literate Programming forever.
I have two utterly divergent takes on this.
See https://github.com/slott56/PyLit-3 for one.
See https://github.com/slott56/py-web-tool for another.
And yet, I've still done a really bad design job. Before we get to the design, a little bit …
more ...Updates completed. See https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywebtool/ and http://pywebtool.sourceforge.net.
The list of changes is extensive.
However, the essential API and the markup language for creating literate programs hasn't (significantly) changed. A few experimental features were replaced with a first-class implementation.
The interesting (to me) bit is …
more ...Even though I wrote a literate programming tool (PyWeb) I slowly came to realize that it's not very good.
Mostly, I followed the Web/Weave world view and cribbed their markup syntax. It's not bad, but, the PyWeb markup is based on some presumptions about literate programming that were, perhaps …
more ...I've (finally) updated the pyWeb Literate Programming Tool.
There were feature requests and bug reports. Much to do. Sadly, I'm really slow at doing it.
