How can I build a Python module in Hy?

Question

I'd like to use Hy, a dialect of Lisp on top of Python. However my coworkers all use Python and aren't likely to switch over to a Lisp dialect any time soon.

How can I package Hy code into a standard Python module?

Answer 1

You have three basic options.

1. have your coworkers import hy as dg123 wrote.

2. use a python package and import hy yourself in your packages __init __.py file. Your coworkers can then just import your modules.

3. compile your module using hyc and deploy the .pyc file which your coworkers can import as normal python module.
