Python parser for Arma class definitions (e.g. sqm files)
Status
About
This is a Python parser for Arma 3 class definitions such as those appearing inside unrapified mission files.
It's based on Fusselwurm's arma-class-parser that is written JavaScript.
I grew tired of using it in conjunction with PyExecJS (complicated to set up and needing to patch things up on Windows) and py2js (too slow to parse even 300KB sqm files) and decided to port the original JavaScript code to Python.
See how it works, directly in your browser!
Installation
pip install armaclass
Usage
Parse the values from a string
In [1]: import armaclass
In [2]: armaclass.parse('version=12;\n\nclass Moo {\r\n value = 1; };')
Out[2]: {'version': 12, 'Moo': {'value': 1}}
Note that due to Python's implementation of dicts, the keys order is kept the same as in the class parsed.
Generate the files based on a parsed (or manually created) structure
In [5]: structure = {'version': 12.0, 'Moo': {'value': 1.0}}
In [6]: print(armaclass.generate(structure))
version=12;
class Moo
{
value=1;
};
Indent with tabs instead of spaces
In [7]: print(armaclass.generate(structure, indent=1, use_tabs=True))
version=12;
class Moo
{
value=1;
};
Extending the generator
You can use this library to write a program that will port your Arma class files to DayZ, for example.
To do so, you will need to create your own generator by subclassing armaclass.generator.Generator
and implementing
your own methods (the ones raising NotImplemented
).
Development
Notes
The naming conventions may not match Python's pep8 as I was trying to stay close to the original parsing names to facilitate porting. Those (internal) names may be changed in the future.
Making code changes
- Create a virtualenv using your preferred method (mkvirtualenv, venv, etc...)
-
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
- Write code AND tests
-
pytest
to test run your tests -
ptw -n
if you wantpytest
to automatically be called whenever you save any file from the project
Testing the cythonized wheels in cibuildwheel
cmd /C "set CIBW_BEFORE_BUILD=pip install -r requirements-cython.txt && set CIBW_SKIP=pp* && set CIBW_TEST_REQUIRES=pytest && set CIBW_TEST_COMMAND=pytest {project} && cibuildwheel --platform windows"
# On linux:
CIBW_BEFORE_BUILD='pip install -r requirements-cython.txt' CIBW_SKIP='pp*' CIBW_TEST_REQUIRES=pytest CIBW_TEST_COMMAND='pytest {project}' cibuildwheel --platform linux
