Feature requests

Making feature requests

Feature requests for the Py++ language can be made in the issues tab of the Py++ github page. If you think of something you'd like to have in Py++, I invite you to add it as a feature request. Remember to use the Py++ feature request label.

Also, it will help a lot to give a 'thumbs up' to features that you want to see added, because this way we can sort by the items which have the most 'thumbs up' in order to see which features are the most in demand.

Current highest priority features

In my mind, these are the highest priority features that should be added to Py++, in an approximate order of importance. And, I am probably working on them now as you are reading this.

I will keep this list updated

  • Default arguments for functions/methods and object instantiation
  • Type variables (i.e. C++ template)
  • Keyword arguments for calls
  • Multi-threading/multi-processing
  • Support for the sum() built-in function (or any other built-in functions we can think of that would be good)
  • set operators: |, ^, &, -, <, >, >=, <= (low hanging fruit)
  • The dict merge operator | (low hanging fruit)
  • Magic methods (i.e. __str__, __add__, etc)
