Pythonect

Homepage: http://www.pythonect.org/

Pythonect is a new, experimental, general-purpose dataflow programming language based on Python. It provides both a visual programming language and a text-based scripting language. The text-based scripting language aims to combine the quick and intuitive feel of shell scripting, with the power of Python. The visual programming language is based on the idea of a diagram with “boxes and arrows”. Crazy? Most definitely. And yet, strangely enough, it works!

Hello, world

Here is the canonical "Hello, world" example program in Pythonect:

"Hello, world" -> print

Installation

There are a few ways to install Pythonect.

1. You can install directly from PyPI using setuptools/easy_install or pip:

   pip install Pythonect
   

   or:

   easy_install Pythonect
   

2. You can clone the git repository somewhere in your system:

   git clone git://github.com/ikotler/pythonect.git
   

   Then you should do following steps:

   cd pythonect
   python setup.py install
   

   Alternatively, if you use pip, you can install directly from the git repository:

   pip install \
           git+git://github.com/ikotler/pythonect.git@master#egg=pythonect \
           -r https://github.com/ikotler/pythonect/raw/master/doc/requirements.txt
   

For any of the above methods, if you want to do a system-wide installation, you will have to do this with root permissions (e.g. using su or sudo).
