Introduction

PyCN is literally means Python Chinese, which uses the same syntaxes as Python. However, it's keywords, literals, built-in functions and operators is using Chinese.

Let's have a look to this example:

定义 是否是质数（被判断的数）：
    如果 被判断的数 小于 二：
        返回 假
    迭代 数一 在 范围（二，整数（被判断的数 取幂 零点五）加 一）：
        如果 被判断的数 取余 数一 等于 零：
            返回 假
    返回 真

the code above means:

def is_prime(num):
    if num < 2:
        return false
    for i in range(2, int(num ** 0.5) + 1):
        if num % i == 0:
            return false
    return true

That's right! PyCN has exactly the same coding style as Python, but as you can see, the PyCN code is in Chinese like I said before.

Install PyCN interpreter

To run your own PyCN code, I recommend you to downlaod the compiled PyCN interpreter:

• GitHub Release

if you are using macOS, you can get pycn from HomeBrew:

brew tap vincent-the-gamer/homebrew-tap
brew install pycn

Online playground

Besides, if you just want to play PyCN for a while, I put the wasm pack to my website:

Switch language to pycn and you are ready.

Syntax Highlighting

Currently, PyCN supports syntax highlighting in VSCode.

Install Pycn extension and get highlight automatically.
