LPy to Python Compiler

This project provides a Python script that compiles an LPy file into a Python file. The LPy file allows you to write pseudo-code snippets wrapped in backticks and tagged with [csm] (ChatGPT Save Me!). The script uses the OpenAI ChatGPT model to convert these pseudo-code snippets into valid Python code.

Requirements

Python 3.x
OpenAI Python library (openai)
pyparsing library (pyparsing)

You can install the required libraries using the following command:

pip install openai pyparsing

Setup

Obtain an API key from OpenAI by signing up for an account at https://openai.com.
Save your API key in a file named .apikey in one of the following locations:
- On Windows: %APPDATA%\.apikey
- On macOS: ~/.apikey
- On Linux: ~/.apikey
Alternatively, you can provide the API key using the -a flag when running the script (see Usage section).

Usage

To compile an LPy file into a Python file, run the following command:

python lpy.py (name of file I want to compile from lpy to py)

Replace (name of file I want to compile from lpy to py) with the path to your LPy file.

If you haven't saved your API key in the .apikey file, you can provide it using the -a flag followed by the key:

python lpy.py (name of file I want to compile from lpy to py) -a your_api_key

The script will process the LPy file, convert the pseudo-code snippets tagged with [csm] into valid Python code using ChatGPT, and generate a corresponding Python file with the same name but with a .py extension.

Example

Here's an example of an LPy file (example.lpy):

def greet(name):
    `[csm]
    print a greeting message that says "Hello, (name)!"
    `

greet("Alice")

After running the compiler script:

python lpy.py example.lpy

The generated Python file (example.py) will look like this:

def greet(name):
    print(f"Hello, {name}!")

greet("Alice")

Notes

The script uses the gpt-4 model by default for code conversion and error correction. Make sure you have access to this model through your OpenAI API key.
Be mindful of the OpenAI API usage limits and associated costs. Each pseudo-code snippet conversion and error correction counts as an API request.
The script attempts to compile the generated Python file and iteratively corrects any compilation errors using ChatGPT until the file successfully compiles.
