Meta
====

.. image:: https://secure.travis-ci.org/srossross/Meta.png?branch=develop

A Pure Python module containing a framework to manipulate and analyze 
python ast's and bytecode.

Example
========

This shows how to take python source to a code object and back again from within python::

    import meta, ast
    source = '''
    a = 1
    b = 2
    c = (a ** b)
    '''
    
    mod = ast.parse(source, '<nofile>', 'exec')
    code = compile(mod, '<nofile>', 'exec')
    
    mod2 = meta.decompile(code)
    source2 = meta.dump_python_source(mod2)
    
    assert source == source2 

This shows the depyc script. The script compiles itself, and then the compiled script extracts itself::
    
    DEPYC_FILE=`python -c"import meta.scripts.depyc; print meta.scripts.depyc.__file__"`
    depyc $DEPYC_FILE --pyc > depycX.pyc
    python -m depycX depycX.pyc --python > depycX.py
    echo depycX.py

Notes
======

 * Meta is python3 compliant (mostly)
 
Bugs
=====
 * The decompliler does not yet support complex list/set/dict - comprehensions 

Testing 
======= 

`python -m unittest discover meta`
