# Tampy

A Python compiler/transpiler that converts Tamil code syntax to Python.

## Features

- **Build mode**: Generate Python code from Tamil syntax
- **Run mode**: Build and execute Tamil code directly
- **Configurable keywords**: Custom keyword mappings via JSON
- **Minimal dependencies**: Uses Python's built-in `ast` module

## Installation

```bash
pip install tampy
```

## Usage

### Build (generate Python code)

```bash
tampy build my_script.tampy
# Generates: my_script.py
```

### Run (build and execute)

```bash
tampy run my_script.tampy
```

## Example

**Input (Tamil code):**
```python
x = 1
y = 2
if x > y:
    print("x is greater")
else:
    print("y is greater")
```

**Output:**
```python
x = 1
y = 2
if x > y:
    print('x is greater')
else:
    print('y is greater')
```

## Configuration

Edit `src/tampy/keywords.json` to customize keyword mappings:

```json
{
  "print": "இருப்பு",
  "if": "இணை",
  "for": "ஒவ்வொரு"
}
```
