__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.
