hissp.repl module#

The Lissp Read-Evaluate-Print Loop. For interactive use.

hissp.repl.ps1 = '#> '#: String specifying the primary prompt of the LisspREPL.

hissp.repl.ps2 = '#..'#: String specifying the secondary (continuation) prompt of the LisspREPL.

class hissp.repl.LisspREPL(locals=None, filename='<console>')[source]#

Lissp’s Read-Evaluate-Print Loop, layered on Python’s.

You can initialize the REPL with a locals dict, which is useful for debugging other modules. See hissp.subrepl.

Call interact() to start.

interact(banner=None, exitmsg=None)[source]#: Imports readline if available, then super().interact().

hissp.repl.interact(locals=None)[source]#

Convenience function to start a LisspREPL.

Uses the calling frame’s globals and locals as locals if not provided.

Unlike hissp.repl.main, no _macros_ are added to the locals to avoid clobbering an existing namespace.

hissp.repl.main(__main__)[source]#

REPL command-line entry point.

hissp.macros._macro_ is copied into the module namespace, making the bundled macros immediately available unqualified.
