Show HN: A search engine for python syntax
- arturopg 12y agoHi, I recently found myself spending a lot of time searching for syntax. Hence, I built a search engine that returns the snippets you are looking for right away. I would love to get your feedback!
- chrisfarms 12y agoIs "syntax" the right word there?
- arturopg 12y agoPlease elaborate.
- gtani 12y agoinstead of "search over syntax", something more specific like "text, wildcard or regex search" over (as an example) "stackoverflow, standard library, langauge spec for cpython, 400 most popular libs on github/pip/package index/ (whatever)" e.g. here's a search engine for scala that lets you use type signatures: http://scalex.org/ http://scalex.org/ _________________________________ really useful search engine, just needs clarification on the database contents and what kinds of searches you can do.
- blrsk 12y agoThis is cool dude! Are you planning on expanding beyond Python? I use C/C++ at work, and this could be very useful for me.
- arturopg 12y agoYes! But before working on adding support for all languages I wanted to have an idea if this was something people would find useful.
- NinjaCat 12y agoWow, Great! This is amazing. Do you think you'll expand the search into the police database? I could really use a way in there
- sdoyle411 12y agoamazing! in a python intro class now and this will definitely help with my assignments!
- arturopg 12y agoI am happy this can be helpful to you!
- mjhea0 12y agoawesome! is this code on github? https://twitter.com/RealPython/status/540200875797405696 https://twitter.com/RealPython/status/540200875797405696
- arturopg 12y agoThanks for tweeting! Not right now...
- kf5jak 12y agoThis is great! I added it as a custom search engine with the keyword 'py' in chrome. Just right click the search field and click 'Add as Search Engine'!
