pyxy

Raw Markup

The current plan is to give pyxy code the same treatment as Cython - it's a superset of Python, but it's treated as a different language. All files that should be transformed (as is done with # coding: pyxy) should end in .pyxy. This would cause problems for importing files normally, so we work around that using something like pyximport.

Raw Markup implementation checklist

• Implementation
  • Initial Proof-of-Concept
  • pyximport for pyxy (maybe our name is confusing versus .pyx files?)
• IDE support
  • Sublime Text
    • Here: https://github.com/pyxy-org/sublime-pyxy
    • Done by yyjhao/sublime-pyxl
  • (WIP) PyCharm
    • Here: https://github.com/pyxy-org/pyxycharm
    • Need update for christoffer/pycharm-pyxl
  • VSCode
    • See https://github.com/ktnrg45/vs-code-cython for an example of extending pyright
• Type checker / linter support
  • Not needed, at least initially, since we'll have a compilation step. Would be good to have a way to automatically correlate errors back to the original source, though!
  • mypy plugin
  • pyright fork... (?)
• Project hygiene
  • Support more Python versions
  • Automated test workflows
  • Documentation
