pyisheval 0.1.0

A Python-like expression evaluator in Rust
Documentation

pyisheval

pyisheval is a Rust library that allows you to evaluate Python-like expressions.
It's not a full Python interpreter, but it supports a subset of Python-like syntax:

  • Arithmetic operations: +, -, *, /
  • Variables and assignments
  • Lambda expressions (lambda x: x + 1)
  • Built-in functions: abs, max, min

No classes, functions (def), or control structures are supported.

Example

use pyisheval::Interpreter;

fn main() {
    let mut interp = Interpreter::new();

    // Assign variables
    interp.eval("x = 10").unwrap();
    interp.eval("y = 20").unwrap();

    // Arithmetic
    let val = interp.eval("x + y * 2").unwrap();
    println!("{}", val); // 50

    // Lambda
    interp.eval("inc = lambda a: a + 1").unwrap();
    let val = interp.eval("inc(x)").unwrap();
    println!("{}", val); // 11
}

Why

This library aims to provide a lightweight and embedded Python-like expression evaluator for scenarios where you want to let users provide arithmetic expressions or simple lambdas without embedding a full Python interpreter.
