Customizable syntax for Python.

Possible uses
==================

- Experimenting with possible language features.
- Boilerplate reduction.





Examples
==========

Unicode lambdas
-------------------

.. code-block:: python

    from __syntax__ import unicode_lambda

    func = λx: x + 1

is equivalent to

.. code-block:: python

    func = lambda x: x + 1

SQL template literals
------------------------

Embedded sql:

.. code-block:: js

  from __syntax__ import sql_literals

  engine.query(sql`SELECT author FROM books WHERE name = {book} AND author = {author}`)

is equivalent to:

.. code-block:: python

    engine.query('SELECT author FROM books WHERE name = ? AND author = ?', [book, author])


Limitations
===============

The example transformers are written in a fragile way. They are intended only as
inspiration rather than production-ready transformers. If you want to add some
production-ready ones, pull-requests are welcome.
