Oh, man, have I got a treat for you: go checkout hylang.org - Hy is a lisp that (ab)uses the python AST to give you access to the entirety of python, but gives

  I've always been super interested in Hy but couldn't ever get it working. Any suggestions for forums or good installation instructions or tutorials? I live Clojure and also have to deal with a lot of Python at work so would be awesome to use lispy syntax to write my Python stuff

    Does this not work? `pip3 install --user hy` as mentioned in the first page of the docs: https://docs.hylang.org/en/stable/ https://docs.hylang.org/en/stable/

    Hissp might be easier to get started with. It's much less complex as a whole and has pretty thorough introductory docs.

    Just `pip install hy` and then `python -mhy` to run it. Once you see how Python translates into Hy, it's pretty straightforward. (import os) (import [os.path :as op]) (with [f (open (op.join dir_name file_name) "w")] (.write f "...")) Some things you just have to learn, like using `(setv var value)` to do assignment, or the fact that `(for)` is an imperative loop while `(lfor)` is a list comprehension, but a little experimentation goes a long way and the docs are quite good.
