Quick Start

The Easy Way (Recommended)

Just include the main header - it pulls in everything under the Pythonic (or py) namespace:

#include "pythonic/pythonic.hpp"

using namespace Pythonic;
// or
using namespace py;

The Manual Way

Or pick exactly what you need:

#include "pythonicVars.hpp"      // var, list, dict, set
#include "pythonicPrint.hpp"     // print(), pprint()
#include "pythonicLoop.hpp"      // range(), enumerate(), zip() + macros
#include "pythonicFunction.hpp"  // map, filter, comprehensions
#include "pythonicFile.hpp"      // File I/O
#include "pythonicMath.hpp"      // Math functions (trig, logarithms, etc.)

using namespace pythonic::vars;
using namespace pythonic::print;
using namespace pythonic::loop;
using namespace pythonic::math;
using namespace pythonic::file;
using namespace pythonic::func;
using namespace pythonic::graph;
using namespace pythonic::fast;
using namespace pythonic::overflow;

using namespace pythonic::error;

Caution: If you use namespaces and import them globally, be careful with using std names and other namespaces, as they might clash or cause ambiguity and multiple definition errors. We recommend using std:: explicitly if you make the pythonic namespace global.

About Namespaces:

  • pythonic::vars - Core var type, containers, type conversion
  • pythonic::print - Printing and formatting (print(), pprint())
  • pythonic::loop - Iteration helpers (range(), enumerate(), zip(), reversed())
  • pythonic::func - Functional programming (map(), filter(), comprehensions)
  • pythonic::file - File I/O
  • pythonic::math - Comprehensive math library (trig, logarithms, random, etc.)
  • pythonic::graph - Graph data structure and algorithms
  • pythonic::error - Exception hierarchy and error handling
  • pythonic::fast - Hot-loop optimizations
  • pythonic::overflow - Checked arithmetic helpers

You can use them all at once with using namespace Pythonic; or using namespace py;.

This is the heart of the library - a dynamic variable that can hold anything.

var x = 42;           // int
var y = 3.14;         // double
var name = "Alice";   // string
var flag = true;      // bool

// Changes type whenever you want
x = "now I'm a string";
x = list(1, 2, 3);    // now I'm a list!
