This repository is a Python port of mames [\_ module](https://github.com/mame/_)
for Ruby that allows you to write scripts by using _ exclusively.
Overview
--------
The following __script__ is a "Hello, world!"" program in \_:
```
____ _ _____ ____ __ _ ___ ______ ____ ____ _ ___ ____ __
___ __ _ _____ __ _ ____ ___ _ _ ___ _____ ______ ____ _ _
____ _ _ ____ _ ____ __ __ ___ _ ______ ___ ____ __ ______
____ _ ____ ____ __ _ ____ _ _ ___ _____ _____ _ ______
____ __ _ ____ __ _ ______
```
As you can see, it uses very advanced and fancy features of modern linguistics
to model the human language exactly in code.
As in mames' original version, you can create such a __script__ easily:
* __script__(YourCodeAsAStringHere) will encode it raw
* __ruby_script__(YourCode) will encode it and add a "require"
* __python_script__(YourCode) will encode it and add an "import"
If you have a file containing _ code, you can import it after importing
_. Cool, huh?
The idea behind it is using Pythons import hooks to achieve something similar
to mames' original script, only that it works the opposite way.
Install
-------
Issue `python setup.py install`(You might have to sudo).
Why is the code so ugly?
------------------------
That is due to me wanting the encoding and decoding be kept as close as possible
to the original, even if the module has a completely different structure.
