polyloader is a python module to hook into Python's import machinery and insert your own syntax parser/recognizer. Importlib uses filename suffixes to recognize which compiler to use, but is internally hard-coded to only recognize ".py" as a valid suffix.

To use:

Import polyloader in your python script's launcher or library, as well as the syntax compiler(s) you plan to use. For example, if you have Mochi and Hy installed, and you wanted to write a Django app, edit manage.py and add the following lines at the top:

 from mochi.main import compile_file as mochi_compile
 from hy.importer import ast_compile as hy_compile
 from polyloader import polyimport
 polyimport(mochi_compile, ['.mochi'])
 polyimport(hy_compile, ['.hy'])}

Now your views can be written in Hy and your models in Mochi, and everything will just work.

Dependencies

polymorph is self-contained. It has no dependencies other than Python itself and your choice of language.
