Advanced tools
Crossandra is a fast and simple tokenization library for Python operating on enums and regular expressions, with a decent amount of configuration.
Crossandra is available on PyPI and can be installed with pip, or any other Python package manager:
$ pip install crossandra
(Some systems may require you to use pip3, python -m pip, or py -m pip
instead)
from enum import Enum
from crossandra import Crossandra
class Brainfuck(Enum):
ADD = "+"
SUB = "-"
LEFT = "<"
RIGHT = ">"
READ = ","
WRITE = "."
BEGIN_LOOP = "["
END_LOOP = "]"
bf = Crossandra(Brainfuck, suppress_unknown=True)
print(*bf.tokenize("cat program: ,[.,]"), sep="\n")
# Brainfuck.READ
# Brainfuck.BEGIN_LOOP
# Brainfuck.WRITE
# Brainfuck.READ
# Brainfuck.END_LOOP
from crossandra import Crossandra, Rule, common
def hex2rgb(hex_color: str) -> tuple[int, int, int]:
r, g, b = (int(hex_color[i:i+2], 16) for i in range(1, 6, 2))
return r, g, b
t = Crossandra(
ignore_whitespace=True,
rules=[
Rule(r"#[0-9a-fA-F]{6}", hex2rgb),
common.WORD
]
)
text = "My favorite color is #facade"
print(t.tokenize(text))
# ['My', 'favorite', 'color', 'is', (250, 202, 222)]
# Supporting Samarium's numbers and arithmetic operators
from enum import Enum
from crossandra import Crossandra, Rule
def sm_int(string: str) -> int:
return int(string.replace("/", "1").replace("\\", "0"), 2)
class Op(Enum):
ADD = "+"
SUB = "-"
MUL = "++"
DIV = "--"
POW = "+++"
MOD = "---"
sm = Crossandra(
Op,
ignore_whitespace=True,
rules=[Rule(r"[\\/]+", sm_int)]
)
print(*sm.tokenize(r"//\ ++ /\\/ --- /\/\/ - ///"))
# 6 Op.MUL 9 Op.MOD 21 Op.SUB 7
