Installation Guide

To install and use reStructuredPython, follow the steps below:

There are two methods: Either use one of the Installation Wizards, (Make sure to pick the right one for your system (.bat or .ps1 for windows, .sh for macOS/Linux, or .ps1 (again)/.jar if you have java or powershell installed) or follow the steps below. 1. Install reStructuredPython:

Open your terminal or command prompt and run the following command to install reStructuredPython using pip:

pip install --upgrade restructuredpython

  1. Compile reStructuredPython Code:

After installation, you can compile .repy files to standard Python code. Navigate to your project directory and run:

repy path/to/your_file.repy

Replace path/to/your_file.repy with the path to your reStructuredPython file. This command will generate a corresponding .py file that you can execute with the standard Python interpreter.

  1. (Optional) Install Visual Studio Code Extension:

For enhanced development experience, including syntax highlighting, you can install the reStructuredPython extension for Visual Studio Code from the Visual Studio Marketplace

  1. Test

Consider the following reStructuredPython code in example.repy:

x = int(input("Enter a number: "))
if (x > 0) {
    print("Positive number")
} else if (x < 0) {
    print("Negative number")
} else {
    print("Zero")
}

Running repy example.repy compiles this into standard Python code, which can then be executed as usual.
