I'm considering writing a little interpreter for a python-like
language and I'm looking for name suggestions. :-) Basically, I don't want to change a whole lot about Python. In fact, I see myself starting with the compiler module from Python 2.5 and building from there. This language would be more or less "Python modulo a few (incompatible) changes, but it'd be recognizable by Python programmers. I'm talking about stuff like "allowing the character '?' in identifier names," and "a better way to express 'for dummy in xrange (n):' when the index isn't needed." I'd also like to implement most of the planned Python 3000 changes. Any suggestions? I'm thinking "Ophidian," for the snake connection, or, possibly, "Circus," from "Monty Python's Flying Circus." Thanks :-) |

The fact that there is a compiler module written in Python that I can modify is a huge plus. I don't necessarily intend for anything in the language to be incorporated in Python. I just see it as a playground type project. |

In case you're interested in a real project, consider taking a look at Cython, which is a Python-to-C compiler for writing C extension modules in a Python-like language. http://cython.org Stefan |

I really like the Whython suggestion :)
Phil Hassey is currently working on a small python derivative called tinypy. It's so recent I don't think he's gotten a project page up for it, so you'd need to backtrack through his blog posts for an overview. But as he's just done a _lot_ of what you're about to do, it would make a great basis for prototyping your ideas. Hope this helps. -alex23 |

Sounds like Paul Grahams Arc but is more Monty Pythonesque than "Circus". |
