tree-sitter-languages

================================================== Python Bindings for Tree Sitter with All Languages

Binary Python wheels for all tree sitter languages.

py-tree-sitter_ is a fantastic library that provides Python bindings for the even more fantastic tree-sitter_ parsing library.

py-tree-sitter-languages_ provides binary Python wheels for all tree sitter languages. The binary wheels remove the need to download and compile support for individual languages.

.. _py-tree-sitter-languages: https://github.com/grantjenks/py-tree-sitter-languages

Install

::

pip install tree_sitter_languages

Source installs are not supported. To see how the binary wheels are built, look at:

1. setup.py — Python package setup.

2. repos.txt — Text file that contains a list of included language repositories and their commit hashes.

3. build.py — Python script to download and build the language repositories.

4. .github/workflows/release.yml — GitHub action to invoke cibuildwheel_ and release to PyPI.

.. _cibuildwheel: https://github.com/pypa/cibuildwheel

Usage

.. code:: python

from tree_sitter_languages import get_language, get_parser

language = get_language('python') parser = get_parser('python')

That's the whole API!

Refer to py-tree-sitter_ for the language and parser API. Notice the Language.build_library(...) step can be skipped! The binary wheel includes the language binary.

Demo

Want to know something crazy? Python lacks multi-line comments. Whhaaa!?!

It's really not such a big deal. Instead of writing

.. code:: python

""" My awesome multi-line comment. """

Simply write

.. code:: python

My awesome

multi-line

comment.

So multi-line comments are made by putting multiple single-line comments in sequence. Amazing!

Now, how to find all the strings being used as comments?

Start with some example Python code

.. code:: python

example = """ #!shebang

License blah blah (Apache 2.0)

"This is a module docstring."

a = 1

'''This is not a multiline comment.'''

b = 2

class Test: "This is a class docstring."

   'This is bogus.'

   def test(self):
       "This is a function docstring."

       "Please, no."

       return 1

c = 3 """

Notice a couple things:

1. Python has module, class, and function docstrings that bare a striking resemblance to the phony string comments.

2. Python supports single-quoted, double-quoted, triple-single-quoted, and triple-double-quoted strings (not to mention prefixes for raw strings, unicode strings, and more).

Creating a regular expression to capture the phony string comments would be exceedingly difficult!

Enter tree-sitter_

.. code:: python

from tree_sitter_languages import get_language, get_parser

language = get_language('python') parser = get_parser('python')

Tree-sitter creates an abstract syntax tree (actually, a concrete syntax tree_) and supports queries

.. code:: python

tree = parser.parse(example.encode()) node = tree.root_node print(node.sexp())

.. _concrete syntax tree: https://stackoverflow.com/q/1888854/232571

Look for statements that are a single string expression

.. code:: python

stmt_str_pattern = '(expression_statement (string)) @stmt_str' stmt_str_query = language.query(stmt_str_pattern) stmt_strs = stmt_str_query.captures(node) stmt_str_points = set( (node.start_point, node.end_point) for node, _ in stmt_strs ) print(stmt_str_points)

Now, find those statement string expressions that are actually module, class, or function docstrings

.. code:: python

doc_str_pattern = """ (module . (comment)* . (expression_statement (string)) @module_doc_str)

   (class_definition
       body: (block . (expression_statement (string)) @class_doc_str))

   (function_definition
       body: (block . (expression_statement (string)) @function_doc_str))

""" doc_str_query = language.query(doc_str_pattern) doc_strs = doc_str_query.captures(node) doc_str_points = set( (node.start_point, node.end_point) for node, _ in doc_strs )

With the set of string expression statements and the set of docstring statements, the locations of all phony string comments is

.. code:: python

comment_strs = stmt_str_points - doc_str_points print(sorted(comment_strs))
