Incomplete Python Mapping for MLT #1

Closed acbart closed 4 years ago

acbart commented 8 years ago

There are a number of Python features that we don't have Block support for yet:

[x] Classes
[x] Functions
[X] While loops
[x] Full dictionary support
[x] Exceptions
[x] Full list support
[x] List comprehensions
[x] Raise, Yield
[x] With
[ ] Global, Exec,
[x] Sets, Tuples
[x] Attribute access

Work has started on this - it's actually not going to be too bad. Rather than trying to support ALL the sophisticated features that Python allows you (e.g., metaclass keyword arguments for classes), we can just support the minimum needed to use most of these features effectively. I'll probably be done this in a few hours with that adjusted expectation.

BlockMirror now supports the full Python AST.
