Show HN: A Swift implementation of selected parts of Python standard library
- zbowling 12y agoPython "inspired" standard library.
- themichaellai 12y agoWhat's the purpose of this library? To have similar syntax to python? I don't think these concepts are unique to python.
- practicalswift 12y agoThe current Swift standard library is actually very small and limited, so Pythonic.swift is an attempt to extend the Swift language with a more comprehensive standard library that quite a few developers are already familiar with. I love both Python and Swift, so I thought why not let them marry? :-)
- bigdubs 12y agoI started doing the same thing with some of the .net bcl classes. https://github.com/wcharczuk/CoreLib https://github.com/wcharczuk/CoreLib very hard to actually use though because frameworks are broken-ish in xcode6 right now.
- arknave 12y agoThis reminds me of boa.js - https://github.com/Zolmeister/Boa https://github.com/Zolmeister/Boa Python's got a great standard library with lots of common functions. Many of these functions should be standard.
- mseri 12y agoIs it compatible with the changes introduced in Swift with beta 3?
- practicalswift 12y agoYes, the project was updated to compile without warnings in Xcode6-Beta3 directly after the release. Please note that most of the changes introduced in Xcode6-Beta3 are breaking, so the project won't compile in the earlier betas any more. So go get Xcode6-Beta3 if you want to use Pythonic.swift :-)
