Copyright (c) 2009 Rasmus Andersson. Licensed under MIT.

Commands

General usage:

Usage: pyca [options] COMMAND [ARGS]

Commands:
  help        Display help about a certain command or pyca itself.
  init        Create and initialize a new project.
  show        Generate and display Python C code.

Options:
  --version    show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help   show this help message and exit
  -q, --quiet  Don't print status messages to stdout

init

Usage: pyca init [options] <name> [<path>]

Create and initialize a new project.

If <path> is not specified it defaults to './' + <name>

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --dry-run             Simulate but don't actually do anything.
  -t <title>, --title=<title>
                        Human-readable title of project. Defaults to <name>.
  -a <author>, --author=<author>
                        Author of the project. If not set, author will be
                        guessed.
  -u <url>, --url=<url>
                        URL pointing to more information.
  -y <year>, --year=<year>
                        Copyright year. Defaults to 2009
  -l <license>, --license=<license>
                        Software license. Defaults to 'mit' (for a list of
                        available licenses, see contents of directory
                        <pycadir>/skeleton/licenses)

show

Usage: pyca show <signature>
       pyca show <type> <signature> [<type> <signature> ...]

Generate and display Python C code.

Examples:

  Show a function:
    pyca show 'mymod.myfunc(myarg1, myarg2)'

  Show a function (with type hinting):
    pyca show 'mymod.myfunc(i size, s message = "hello")'

  Show a method and a function:
    pyca show meth 'mymod.MyClass.mymeth(i size, s message = "hello")'\
              func 'mymod.myfunc(i size, s message = "hello")'

  Show a static method:
    pyca show smeth 'mymod.MyClass.mymeth(i size, s message = "hello")'

Type hinting is (optionally) performed by adding a PyArg_Parse symbol in front
of arguments.

Options:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Show generated code

Note that you do not need to have any existing project in order to use the show command, as is simply parses signatures and generates Python C code just-in-time.

$ pyca show meth 'mymod.SomeClass.echo(s msg, i times=3, s# prefix = "")'
> docs/source/mymod.SomeClass.echo.rst:
    .. method:: echo(msg, times=3, prefix="")

> src/mymod_SomeClass.h:
  /**
   * @param const char *msg
   * @param int times = 3
   * @param const char *prefix = ""
   */
  PyObject *mymod_SomeClass_echo(PyObject *self, PyObject *args, PyObject *kwargs);

> src/mymod_SomeClass.c:
  /**
   * mymod.SomeClass.echo(s msg, i times=3, s# prefix = "")
   */
  PyObject *mymod_SomeClass_echo(PyObject *self, PyObject *args, PyObject *kwargs) {
    const char *msg = NULL;
    int times = 3;
    const char *prefix = "";
    int prefix_length = 0;
    static char *kwlist[] = {"msg", "times", "prefix", NULL};

    /* Parse arguments */
    if (!PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(args, kwargs, "s|is#:echo", kwlist,
      &msg, &times, &prefix, &prefix_length))
    {
      return NULL;
    }

    /* TODO: implementation */
    PyErr_SetString(PyExc_NotImplementedError, "mymod.SomeClass.echo");
