Use Python to expand/configure files.
Project - A collection of files to be parsed.
Section - A section of code to be expanded.
Round - A single iteration over a section with a user-defined set of variables.
If you wanted to use Parseme in a file called main.c, you would create a file called main.parseme.c, copy in the contents of main.c, and start chunking away at the code.
Parseme is not a commandline tool. You use it in your setup scripts. See test.py for a minimal example.
/*$ SECTION $*/
This line begins a section called SECTION.
/*$ {expression} $*/
This line begins a generated section. The result of expression is iterated, or if it's not iterable (should always be an integer in this case) it is wrapped in range(), and the current iteration can be accessed as the capital variable I.
/*$ $*/
This line closes a section.
$?{expression
This line begins an if statement.
$??{[expression]
This line begins an else[if] block.
$?}
This line ends an if statement.
Anywhere in a section ${expression} is replaced by the result thereof.
