README.rst

**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 <https://github.com/i2y/mochi>`__ and
`Hy <http://docs.hylang.org/en/latest/>`__ 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.
