pocketpy: python interpreter in 1 file

GitHub GitHub release Website

English | 简体中文

pkpy is a lightweight(~14K LOC) Python interpreter for game scripting, built on C++17 with STL.

It aims to be an alternative to lua for game scripting, with elegant syntax, powerful features and competitive performance. pkpy is extremely easy to embed via a single header file pocketpy.h, without external dependencies.

Please see https://pocketpy.dev for details or try Live Demo.

Supported Platforms

pkpy should work on any platform with a C++17 compiler. These platforms are officially tested.

  • Windows 64-bit
  • Linux 64-bit / 32-bit
  • macOS 64-bit
  • Android 64-bit / 32-bit
  • iOS 64-bit
  • Emscripten 32-bit
  • Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit

Quick Start

Download the pocketpy.h on our GitHub Release page. And #include it in your project.

You can also use cmake to build it from source. See CMakeLists.txt for details. These variables can be set to control the build process:

  • PK_BUILD_STATIC_LIB - Build the static library
  • PK_BUILD_SHARED_LIB - Build the shared library

Compile Flags

To compile it with your project, these flags must be set:

  • --std=c++17 flag must be set
  • Exception must be enabled
  • For MSVC, /utf-8 flag must be set

For development build on Linux, use this snippet.

# prerequisites
sudo apt-get install libc++-dev libc++abi-dev clang
# build the repo
bash build.sh
# unittest
python scripts/run_tests.py

Example

#include "pocketpy.h"

using namespace pkpy;

int main(){
    // Create a virtual machine
    VM* vm = new VM();

    // Hello world!
    vm->exec("print('Hello world!')");

    // Create a list
    vm->exec("a = [1, 2, 3]");

    // Eval the sum of the list
    PyObject* result = vm->eval("sum(a)");
    std::cout << py_cast<int>(vm, result);   // 6

    // Bindings
    vm->bind(vm->_main, "add(a: int, b: int)",
      [](VM* vm, ArgsView args){
        int a = py_cast<int>(vm, args[0]);
        int b = py_cast<int>(vm, args[1]);
        return py_var(vm, a + b);
      });

    // Call the function
    PyObject* f_add = vm->_main->attr("add");
    result = vm->call(f_add, py_var(vm, 3), py_var(vm, 7));
    std::cout << py_cast<int>(vm, result);   // 10

    // Dispose the virtual machine
    delete vm;
    return 0;
}

Reference

The official implementation of Python programming language.

An excellent learning material. It illustrates how Python's virtual machine works.

The world's best 2D physics engine, written by Erin Catto. box2d now becomes a built-in module in pkpy v1.1.3 and later.
