Intro
CrossLang is a Python library that allows developers to run code written in various programming languages directly from their Python scripts. This can be particularly useful for multi-language projects, testing, and automation.
Supports multiple programming languages including Rust, C, Java, Ruby, Lua, Go, JavaScript, PHP, Perl, Scala, Shell, and Kotlin.
Automatically compiles and runs code snippets.
Easy to integrate into existing Python projects.
Installation
To install CrossLang, you can use pip:
pip install python-crosslang
Installing Compilers and Interpreters
CrossLang relies on various external compilers and interpreters to execute code in different languages. You can use the provided installation scripts to set up the necessary dependencies.
For Unix-based Systems (Linux/macOS):
Run the following script to install the required compilers and interpreters:
chmod +x debian.sh; ./debian.sh
For Arch Linux:
Run the following script to install the required compilers and interpreters:
chmod +x arch.sh; ./arch.sh
For Windows:
Run the following PowerShell script to install the required compilers and interpreters:
.\windows.ps1
Usage
Here's an example of how to use CrossLang in your Python script:
from CrossLang import Translator
code = """
fn main() {
println!("Hello, world!");
}
"""
output = Translator('rust', code)
print(output)
code = """
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Hello, World!\\n");
return 0;
}
"""
output = Translator('c', code)
print(output)
code = """
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello, World!");
}
}
"""
output = Translator('java', code)
print(output)
