Writing Interpreters and Compilers for the Raspberry Pi Using Python: Second Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798635920329)

If you want to learn how to write interpreters and compilers, and at the same time learn how Python, Python bytecode, assembly language, and dynamic typing work, this is the book for you. The only prerequisites are some experience with any programming language and a computer on which you can install Python 3 (or Python 2 if you prefer). A Raspberry Pi is not required. Included in the software package for the book is an interpreter that allows you to run ARM/Raspberry Pi assembly language programs on your Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X systems. If you have not yet learned Python or assembly language, so much the better. You will get the added bonus of learning Python and assembly language while you learn all about interpreters and compilers. Two chapters on assembly language and an appendix on Python cover everything you need to know to start writing interpreters and compilers. In this edition, the typos in the the first edition have been corrected, the occasional too brief explanation has been expanded, additional code has been provided for the particularly complex functions, and more end-of-chapter problems have been included.
