PyLua V0.2

Features

• Bytecode Compilation: Compile Python code once, execute multiple times
• Python Syntax: Almost full support for all Python variables, operators, control flow, and data structures
• Data Structures: Lists, dictionaries, tuples, sets with proper Python semantics
• Control Flow: if/elif/else, for loops, while loops with nested support
• Built-ins: print(), len(), type(), range(), int(), float(), str(), bool()
• Optimized VM: Stack-based virtual machine for efficient bytecode execution

Basic Usage

local python = require('path.to.PyLua0.2.python')
-- Simple one-line execution
python.execute('print("Hello, PyLua 0.2!")')

Compile Once, Execute Multiple Times

For better performance when running the same code repeatedly:

local python = require('path.to.PyLua0.2.python')

-- Compile Python code to bytecode
local bytecode, error = python.compile([[
x = 10
y = 20
result = x + y
print("Result:", result)
]])

if error then
    print("Compilation error:", error)
    return
end

-- Execute the bytecode multiple times
for i = 1, 5 do
    print("Execution", i)
    local success, variables = python.runBytecode(bytecode)
    if success then
        print("Variables:", variables)
    end
end
