• Module System Working! (import custom modules and access functions)
• New Website: switching from Google Sites to GitHub Pages
• New Call Function: dial numbers for advanced-specific features in Simpl-Py like DEV MODE
• FASTER!
  • The Simpl-Py interpreter (0.8.0 and up) is now 25% faster than previous versions
  • Efficient code and new systems make faster response
  • Newlines do not pass through handlers
• Tired of hundreds of if statements:
  • New model uses tokens instead of if statements with strings
  • Improves errors and debugging
    • More than 25 new error codes with optional detailed information
• MORE!!!
  • Read the version release for all changes

Code

The syntax in Simpl-Py is easy to learn and understand. Here is the hello world program in Simpl-Py:

>> print
Print What? >> Hello World
Hello World

(">>" shows user input)

Features

• Full interpreter
• Support on Python 3.6+
• Documentation
• Over 25 errors with codes for assistance

Download and Run

There are 2 ways to download Simpl-Py

More Code

Here are some examples made in Simpl-Py:

(">>" shows user input)

print.echo example:

print.echo will print any text on the screen as many times as you want (almost)

>> print.echo
Echo What?  >> simpl-py (text to echo)
Echo Space?  >> 3 (number of spaces between strings)
Echo Amount? >> 5 (times to echo)

Output:

simpl-py   simpl-py   simpl-py   simpl-py   simpl-py

print_math example:

print_math will do basic math operations with a (kind of) infinite amount of integers

>> print_math
Integer Amount?  >> 3 (amount of numbers to operate)
Integer:  >> 4
Integer:  >> 7
Integer:  >> 2
Operator (+, -, *, /):  >> +

Output:

13

Module example:

Included in Simpl-Py 0.8.0-beta, is a fun feature that gives you the ability to import modules. Simpl-Py comes with a test module just for you to import, so follow along with your program! As expected, importing is easy:

>> @module                          (the name after "@" will be imported)
This is a Simpl-Py Example Module   (welcome text displayed after first import)
What Function?  >> inside           (call function inside module)
This is inside the function.        (output from module)

Great! We just imported a module and accessed a function inside. Try calling inside from @module again to see that the welcome text is not displayed twice.

Read the docs for more info on modules

Development Programs

Development programs are states of focus for projects like Simpl-Py. You can take a topic or feature that needs improvement in a project and turn it into a dev program so developers have a focus and a goal.

Here is a list of Dev Programs for Simpl-Py:

Simpl-Py EXtended (2022) CLOSED

Simpl-Py EXtended (SPY-EX) is the first Dev Program for Simpl-Py. This program focuses on making the language open to customization and adjustments for the user. This program may run for about 2 months.

Goals Accomplished:

• A new interpreter console for the language with enhancing and adjustment options
• A module system for users to add their own piece of code into the pie
• New advertising and communication guidelines for the user
• More interaction with the user within the language
• Fixes
