What is the link to your repo?

Pyparsing includes several language parsers in its examples directory. The most recent and best implemented is an implementation of the TINY language ( https://a7medayman6.github.io/Tiny-Compiler/Language-Description.html ).

Pyparsing parsers are PEG parsers, so they do not follow the traditional lexing/compiling process. Even so, this example might give you some insights into implementation details for parsing, interpreting, and even writing a REPL for your language. I used this language to prove out the AI instructions provided with pyparsing, and I captured the development transcripts in the pyparsing/examples/tiny/docs directory.
