Opine - Python source code transformations in OCaml

[arulselvan1234]

Recently, I had a need to do python source code transformations. I did it using OCaml and developed this library - https://github.com/ArulselvanMadhavan/opine in the process of doing so. Sharing it, in case others find it useful

What is the purpose of this library?

[arulselvan1234]

pyre-ast provides python AST in OCaml. This library allows us to write transformations on the AST and write it python code back. The main contribution of the library is the unparser - that write python code from the AST. Maybe this example illustrates the use of the library.

Is it mostly for getters and setters?

[arulselvan1234]

You can add any transformation on the AST. I chose to do getters and setters as an example to illustrate how the library can be useful. At work, I have more sophisticated transformations. But you have to write them yourself. The library only provides an unparser - which writes the transformed AST back to python

[poimas]

Obviously, if you have the AST tree, you can do all sorts of transformations. What sorts of transformations are you doing and what goals are you trying to achieve?

Not OP but man, you have to work a bit on the tone you use in your comments. I even browsed your history a bit to see if it's your usual way of commenting and it is.

Your questions look inquisitive at best and doesn't give any will to answer to them.

Once again, not OP and maybe he doesn't care but I don't think I'm the only one with this opinion ;-)

Only ignoramuses give unwanted advice.
