Pythonic.swift is a Swift library implementating selected parts of Python's standard library and making them available to your Swift code.

import Pythonic allows you to write Python flavored code such as:

#!/usr/bin/env swift -I . import Pythonic if re.search("^foo","foobar"){print("ok!")}ifany(["foo","bar","zonk"]){print(chr(ord("a"))) // a }varstrings=["foo","bar"]print(":".join(strings)) // foo:bar if strings {print(strings[0]) // foo }iflen(strings)==2{print(strings[1].upper()) // BAR print(strings[1].split("a")) // ["b", "r"] }vargreeting=" hello pythonista "if greeting.strip().startswith("hello"){print(greeting.strip().title()) // Hello Pythonista }varnumbers=[1,2,3,4,5]print(sum(numbers)) // 15 print(max(numbers)) // 5

See the the test suite Pythonic-test.swift and the Swift syntax checker for more examples. Questions? Get in touch on Twitter @practicalswift.

Code contributions are more than welcome! This is the quick guide to contributing:

1. Fork the project
2. Implement function foo from the Python standard library
3. Add a test case for foo in Pythonic-test.swift
4. Make sure the test case passes in both Python and Swift by running make test
5. Submit a pull request
6. Repeat until we're done :-)
