| # Welcome to pocketpy
 | |
| 
 | |
| pocketpy is a portable Python 3.x interpreter, written in C11.
 | |
| It aims to be an alternative to Lua for game scripting, with elegant syntax, powerful features and competitive performance.
 | |
| pocketpy has no dependencies other than the C standard library, which can be easily integrated into your C/C++ project.
 | |
| Developers are able to write Python bindings via C-API or pybind11 compatible interfaces.

 | |
| ## What it looks like
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```python
 | |
| def is_prime(x):
 | |
|   if x < 2:
 | |
|     return False
 | |
|   for i in range(2, x):
 | |
|     if x % i == 0:
 | |
|       return False
 | |
|   return True
 | |
| 
 | |
| primes = [i for i in range(2, 20) if is_prime(i)]
 | |
| print(primes)
 | |
| # [2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19]
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |

 | |
| ## Upgrade to v2.0
 | |
| 
 | |
| pkpy v2.0 is a C11 project instead of C++17. All your existing code for v1.x won't work anymore.
 | |
| 
 | |
| We provide two API sets for v2.0, C-API and pybind11 API (C\+\+17). If you are a C user, use the C-API. If you are a C\+\+ user, use the pybind11 API.
