Python

When I write small command line utilities in Python, I often take advantage of the fileinput module that makes working with text files very convenient: the library permits to write quickly and easily a loop over standard input or a list of files, something like perl -a or awk line processing. Then the size of input data grew, and also for a language comparison, I wanted to port my utility in the D programming language, but I cannot find an equivalent module, so I decided to write one myself. ...

Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. It’s Efficient, expressive, elegant and definitely worth to check. While I was playing with it, I stumbled upon an interesting module that allows almost seamless interoperability betweeen Nim and Python; so I’m building a small proof of concept on this github project. first of all the Nim code: # file: demo.nim - file name should match the module name you're going to import from python import nimpy import unicode proc greet(name: string): string {.exportpy.} = return "Hello, " & name & "!" proc count(names: seq[string]): int {.exportpy.} = return names.len proc lowercase(names: seq[string]): seq[string] {.exportpy.} = for n in names: result.add tolower(n) ...

This is a quick and dirty way to interface C++ code with Python, translating one or more C++ classes in Python objects. First, we need some c++ sample code: //myclass.h #ifndef MYCLASS_H #define MYCLASS_H #include <string> using namespace std; namespace pets { class Dog { public: Dog(string name, int age); virtual ~Dog(); string talk(); protected: string m_name; int m_age; }; } //myclass.cpp #include "myclass.h" #include <string> namespace pets { Dog::Dog(std::string name, int age): m_name(name),m_age(age) { } Dog::~Dog() { } std::string Dog::talk() { return "BARK! I am a DOG and my name is "+m_name; } } now, we can try a little test program just to exercise our class: ...
