• Python 3

Execute the bin/pylisp.sh file, or run python3 src/main.py.

Execute the bin/pylisp.bat file, or run src/main.py through IDLE.

If pylisp is run without any arguments it starts an interpreter session, if run with an argument it attempts to open it as a file.

Inside the interpreter pressing tab will attempt to complete any variable names or core syntactic keywords, and entering a newline while there are more opening parenthesis than closing parenthesis will result in an indent newline that accepts input, allowing multi-line expressions.

The standard library is contained in the PyLib directory. Each directory within the pylib directory is a module which can be imported. To create a new module, make a directory in the PyLib directory and populate it with pylisp(.pyl) or python(.py) files. Any definitions in the pylisp file automatically get exported to the importer's environment. Python files need to define a dictionary called export which maps environment names to values/functions.
