The py-tree-sitter project (not to be confused with tree-sitter-python) provides Python bindings for the awesome tree-sitter parsing library. The documentation of py-tree-sitter says that you need to have a C compiler installed to use it, but installing a C compiler can be highly non-trivial depending on which operating system you have. It's also a huge dependency for what is otherwise a small and simple parsing library.
This project lets you use py-tree-sitter without a C compiler by providing binary wheels that were built using a C compiler, but don't require a C compiler to be installed. The wheels contain:
tree_sitter module from py-tree-sitter v0.20.1tree_sitter_languages module from py-tree-sitter-languages v1.5.0$ pip install tree-sitter-builds
After installing, import tree_sitter and import tree_sitter_languages should work.
For documentation, see the documentation of:
tree_sitter_languages instead of the "Setup" part)Read .github/workflows/build.yml to see how GitHub actions builds the wheels.
Here are the steps, at a high level:
