AEWL - Arma Extensible Widget Language

This project aims to simplify the process of creating GUI's for Arma 3. It provides a much simpler language, with the possibility of extending the language through Python classes.

Installation

This package has not yet been released to PyPI, as it is still currently under development. It is, however, functional, and can be installed directly from the git repository: pip install -e git+https://github.com/SigJig/aewl.git#egg=aewl

Usage

The package exposes 5 main functions:

• get_base() - Return an armaconfig.py object consisting of all base GUI classes (exported by Arma 3 GUI creator)
• file_to_file(src, dst, *args, **kwargs) - Converts a .aewl file into an arma 3 config file
• file_to_str(src, *args, **kwargs) - Converts a .aewl file into an arma 3 config string
• str_to_file(src, dst, *args, **kwargs) - Converts an aewl string into an arma 3 config file
• str_to_str(src, *args, **kwargs) - Converts an aewl string into an arma 3 config string

Example

from aewl import (
    file_to_file,
    file_to_str,
    str_to_file,
    str_to_file
)

# file_to_file
with open('input.aewl') as inp, open('output.hpp', 'w') as outp:
    file_to_file(inp, outp)

# file_to_str
with open('input.aewl') as inp:
    print(file_to_str(inp))

# str_to_file
with open('output.hpp', 'w') as outp:
    str_to_file('widget my_text(text) { text="Hello World" };', outp)

# str_to_str
print(str_to_str('widget my_text(text) { text="Hello World" };'))
