[Moose-dev] Re: Problems with checkout of Py2mse

Hi Nelli, I had a quick look at the py2mse parser together with Fabrizio Perin from the University of Bern. First thing: in order to use the parser you have to load the PythonDevelopment bundle from the Bern store. Once you do that you have to go to the class side of the PythonCode class and find the method named py2mse. The body of that method is a python script that exports the AST of the analyzed python file to a mse format. Running the parser on its own code worked well, so theoretically you can use it. Then in VisualWorks you're supposed to import that model and convert it to a FAMIX-like meta-model. This part seems to be broken at the moment and unfortunately I am not sure who has time to work on this. It looks like somebody needs to declare the classes for the python metamodel inside VisualWorks. I am not sure that is the only problem though, so I can't estimate the effort. The alternatives are implementing a new parser using PetitParser (Fabrizio swears it's easy to do) that would parse python code, or one converter from the AST that is exported by py2mse to a FAMIX metamodel. Hope this helps, Cheers, M. On Mon, Aug 15, 2011 at 10:25 AM, Nelli Kaiser <nllksr(a)gmail.com> wrote:
