PYTHON.ma is a simplified Python compiler in Darija created using Lex and Yacc from PLY library (the implementation of lex and yacc parsing tools for Python).
This project was a brave idea, and an innovative one, it comes to solve the problem of people who has difficulties dealing with other languages besides their natal language. It is a way to encourage the young Moroccan people to code without the struggle of having a rich French or English vocabulary, or at least a good beginning for kids, to learn how to code from an early age, to help their mind stay awake, and learn how to solve problems on their own.
First thing, these are the regex used all along this project :
Variable’s Name:
$([0-9] | [A-Z] | [a-z])
Function’s Name:
([A-Z] | [a-z]) ([0-9]) | [A-Z] | [a-z])*
Integers:
(+ | - | ε) [0-9]+
Float:
(+ | - | ε) [0-9]+ .[0-9]
Comments:
(( ( [0-9] | [A-Z] | [a-z] | & | | | ; | , | . | ? | ! | = | + | - | * | / | { | } | [ | ] | ( | ) | $ | < | > | _ | ^ | % | # | ”| ’ )* ))
Symbols:
, | ; | . | : | \ | { | } | [ | ] | ( | ) | _ | # | ” | ’
Arithmetic Operators:
* | + | - | / | %
Logical Operators:
! | && | ||
Assignment Operators:
= , += , -= , *= , /= , %=
Comparative Operators:
( ( = | ! | < | > ) = ) | > | <
Keywords:
"Any string that is part of the syntax and can’t be used as an identifier, like : _9ra, kteb, ilakan, …"
After building the Lexer in Darija Language, the parser was implemented also, by using the rules and the best way to construct a meaningful phrase.
For example:
--> This function simply tells the program that these are the known identifiers, that are not allowed to be as variables:
def p_lm3rofin(p):
''' lm3rofin : t3rif
| kteb
| _9ra
| ma7ed
| bnisbal
| ilakan
| ila
'''
p[0] = p[1]
« kteb » means « print »
« _9ra » means « input »
« ma7ed » means « while »
« bnisbal » means « for »
« ilakan » means « if without else »
« ila » means « if with else »
1- At first, you should install the PLY (Python Lex-Yacc), from here: https://www.dabeaz.com/ply/.
2- After having the folder PLY in your local space, you clone this repository from the command line with:
git clone https://github.com/Asma-6/PYTHON.ma.git or download the zip code.
3- Run the file parser.py wich will compile the written code in codeSource.py "it is just a test of some darija instructions".
4- You can now edit the source code with your own instructions, just pay attention to use the declared identifiers in the lexer.py.
