Language scope

Built for readable syntax and real tooling.

An open-source language ecosystem with clean syntax, functions, classes, inheritance, exceptions, system automation modules, HTTP tooling, LPM, and MIT licensing.

01x86-64 JIT and fast bytecode VM

02Clean syntax with functions, classes, inheritance, and exceptions

03Standard library with os, http, fs, json, net, crypto, datetime, and async modules

04Advanced OS modules for hooks, input control, processes, audio, events, privileges, and persistence

05Cross-platform tooling for macOS, Linux, and Windows

06LPM package manager and standalone executable build system

Quick start

Syntax made to stay readable.

Levython uses assignment with <-, functions with act, and simple built-ins like say. It supports variables, conditionals, loops, lists, maps, functions, classes, inheritance, and exceptions.

name <- "Levython"

act greet(who) {
    say("Hello, " + who)
}

greet(name)

Standard library

Batteries included for practical programs.

The repository documents core built-ins, filesystem tools, networking, async workflows, crypto, datetime utilities, logging, configuration, input handling, colors, and more.

Advanced system modules

System automation and low-level control.

Levython 1.0.3 adds OS-level modules for hooks, input control, process management, display control, audio, privileges, events, and persistence.
