Turn your C++/Java code into a Python-like format for extra style points and to make everyone hates you

Overview

Pythonify

Turn your C++/Java code into a Python-like format for extra style points and to make everyone hates you.

For example, Java fans would do something like this:

public class Example {
    private static void permute(int n, char[] a) {
        if (n == 0) {
            System.out.println(String.valueOf(a));
        }
        else {
            for (int i = 0; i <= n; i++) {
                permute(n - 1, a);
                swap(a, n % 2 == 0 ? i : 0, n);
            }
        }
    }

    private static void swap(char[] a, int i, int j) {
        char saved = a[i];
        a[i] = a[j];
        a[j] = saved;
    }

    public static void main() {
        char[] a = "Hello world".toCharArray();
        permute(5, a);
    }
}

While Pythonify enjoyers do this:

public class Example                                   {
    private static void permute(int n, char[] a)       {
        if (n == 0)                                    {
            System.out.println(String.valueOf(a))      ;}
        else                                           {
            for (int i = 0; i <= n; i++)               {
                permute(n - 1, a)                      ;
                swap(a, n % 2 == 0 ? i : 0, n)         ;}}}
    
    private static void swap(char[] a, int i, int j)   {
        char saved = a[i]                              ;
        a[i] = a[j]                                    ;
        a[j] = saved                                   ;}
    
    public static void main()                          {
        char[] a = "Hello world".toCharArray()         ;
        permute(5, a)                                  ;}}

Installation

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/20toduc01/pythonify.git
cd pythonify

To run Pythonify, you need Python (obviously). Windows users can download Python from the official download site. Pick any version you want.

Usage

CLI

python pythonify.py [-h] -i INPUT -o OUTPUT [-s INDENT_SIZE] [-e EOL_SPACE] 

Whereas:

  • INPUT and OUTPUT are the input and output file paths.

  • INDENT_SIZE is the prefered number of indentation spaces (default to 4).

  • EOL_SPACE is the spacing between the code and semicolons and/or brackets at the end of the line (default to 1).

Working example:

python pythonify.py -i Example.java -o output.java

That would produce the code above.

As a module

The API is similar to the command line version. Just do something like:

from pythonify import pythonify

pythonify('example.cpp', 'output.cpp', indent_size=4, eol_spacing=1)

Known issues

For now, Pythonify treats every pair of curly braces as a code block wrapper, thus in cases where curly braces are used differently (e.g. array definitions), the code would look a bit off but not too noticeable.

Why?

  • I thought this was funny.

  • I was bored.

  • No one tried to stop me.

Simple, hassle-free, dependency-free, AST based source code refactoring toolkit.

refactor is an end-to-end refactoring framework that is built on top of the 'simple but effective refactorings' assumption. It is much easier to write a simple script with it rather than trying to figure out what sort of a regex you need in order to replace a pattern (if it is even matchable with regexes).
