Last active January 4, 2016 10:39
An attempt to create a Python expression that acts like the try/except/finally blocks.
maybe:python-spexy siege$ PYTHONPATH=./ python tmp/spexy_try.py
The original spexy source is
-----
(defun division (x y)
(let ((result None))
(try
(setf result (/ x y))
((ZeroDivisionError)
(println "division by zero!" x "/" y)

obriencj / spexy repl example
Created January 22, 2014 21:06
Spexy had a repl, for testing purposes. The >>>> lines are my input, the --> lines are spexy letting me see the Python code it created from my input, and then following that is the result of the evaluation if any.
[siege@maybe src]$ python spexy.py
>>>> (defun make_pair ()
(letrec ((value None)
(getter (lambda () value))
(setter (lambda (v) (setf value v))))
(make-list getter setter)))
--> globals().__setitem__('make_pair', (lambda : ((lambda value, getter, setter: ((value.__setitem__(0, None), getter.__setitem__(0, (lambda : value[0])), setter.__setitem__(0, (lambda v: value.__setitem__(0, v))),)[-1], [getter[0], setter[0],],)[-1])([None], [None], [None]))))
