周蟒, Write python language in chinese

Project description

Introduction

“If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, I would call it a duck.”

Zhpy on python is good for Taiwan and China beginners to learn python in our native language (Currently it support Traditional and Simplified chinese).

Zhpy acts like python and play like python, you (chinese users) could use it as python to educate yourself the program skills plus with your native language.

Check examples here.

(Please install python 2.x to use this project)

Play locally

To play zhpy locally, you even don’t need to install it.

All you need to do is follow the 3 steps guide:

  1. Download the source pack (the zip file)

  2. Extract the pack with zip tool. Enter the folder

  3. Run:

    $ python interpreter.py

Then you got the usable zhpy interpreter!

Install

If you’d like to play zhpy with full features, you should install zhpy.

You could use easy_install command to install or upgrade zhpy:

$ easy_install -U zhpy

or check instructions for detail.

Usage

You could use zhpy interpreter to test zhpy:

$ zhpy
zhpy [version] in [platform] on top of Python [py_version]
>>> print 'hello in chinese'
hello in chinese

Browse project homepage to get examples in chinese.

check the BasicUsage for detail.

Programming Guide

You could freely view the C.C. licensed book “A Byte of python (Zhpy)” on zhpy website, which contained zhpy example codes as well.

There’s the API document available in zhpy download list, too.

PS: The book is based on “A Byte of Python”.

What is Zhpy

Zhpy is the full feature python language with fully tested chinese keywords, variables, and parameters support. Zhpy is INDEPENDENT on python version(2.4, 2.5….), bundle with command line tool, interpreter, bi-directional zhpy <-> python code translation, chinese shell script capability, in-place ini reference feature for keyword reuse, and great document (the book Byte of Python with chinese examples).

The core of zhpy is a lightweight python module and a chinese source convertor based on python, which provides interpreter and command line tool to translate zhpy code to python.

You could invoke interpreter with ‘zhpy’ command instead of “python” in command line to execute source code wrote in either Chinese or English. The zhpy interpreter also support autocomplete function to save your typing.

Zhpy provide a method ‘zh_exec’ that allow you to embed chinese script in python; Zhpy could be used as the chinese shell script as well.

The zhpy code written in traditional and simplified chinese could be translated and converted to natual python code. Thus it could be execute as nature python code and be used in normal python programs.

Bidirectional python-zhpy translation is possible. Normal python programs could be translated to traditional(.twpy) or simplified(.cnpy) chinese zhpy source via ‘zhpy’ command line tool.

The framework is not hard to extend to another languages such as japenese or korean.
