Overview

Neptune is a tool for compiling Python files to the .avm format for usage in smart contracts on the Ontology blockchain. It currently only supports a subset of the Python language.

What does it currently do

• Compiles a subset of the Python language to the .avm format for use in the Ontology blockchain
• Works for Python 3.6+

What will it do

• Compile a larger subset of the Python language
• Additional syntax checks
• Optimize instr stream

What's new compared to neo-boa

• Basic abstract syntax trees
• Ability to write numerous expressions per line. (See Example)
• global keyword, works the same as global in the standard python library. Allows functions to share variables. (See Example #1) (See Example #2)
• Cascade bool operation. (See Example)
• Augmented assignment operators such as += *= /= -= (See Example)
• Chained comparisons (See Example)
• Chained assignment
• Maps nested within maps. (See Example)
• if expression statements. (See Example)
• for, while, break and continue. (See Example #1) (See Example #2)
• if x in y statements. (See Example)
• loop else statements. (See Example)
• range(len), range(start, stop), range(start, stop, step). (See Example)
• Function default argument (See Example)
• Function variable argument (See Example)
• Pass Starred argument for function call (See Example)
• List comprehension. (See Example)
• Dict comprehension. (See Example)
• Conditional operation
• Assert. (See Example)
• String slicing (See Example)
• Added libont.py to support various list functions such as list removal and element in
• Additional syntax checks
• More accurate debug messages

Installation

Installation requires Python version 3.6 or later.

Setup

Clone the repository and navigate into the project directory. Make a Python 3 virtual environment and activate it via:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Then, install the requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

The compiler may be used like in the following example:

from ontology.compiler import Compiler

# Compiles the python file and creates an avm in 'path/to/your/file.avm'.
compiler = Compiler.Compile('path/to/your/file.py')

# dump the instr instream.
compiler.DumpAsm()

Testing

You can run the tests using the runall.bash or runall-testing.bash files located in ontology_test.

DebugInfo

FuncName: indicate the opcode blongs to which function. Global#Code is for Code in Global.

Lineno: indicate the opcode blongs to which line number in source code.

Col : indicate the opcode blongs to which columns in source code.

offset: the address of Opcode. from 0 to len of avm.

Opcode: the Opcode.

JumpTarget: the target address(offset) of jump instruct.

TargetOff: the relative offset between target address and current jump instruction.
