Parses a Lua string and prints the S-expression of the syntax tree.

from tree_sitter import Language, Parser from tree_sitter_lua import language_lua LUA_LANGUAGE = Language(language_lua()) parser = Parser() parser.set_language(LUA_LANGUAGE) tree = parser.parse(b"print('hello world')") print(tree.root_node.sexp())

Debug

Known issues

breakingVersion 0.4.0 regenerated the parser with ABI 15, breaking compatibility with tree-sitter <=0.24. Make sure your tree-sitter library is at least 0.25.

fix

Upgrade tree-sitter: pip install --upgrade tree-sitter

affects: >=0.4.0

deprecatedThe old import pattern `from tree_sitter_lua import language` (without underscore) is no longer supported after v0.1.0.

fix

Use `from tree_sitter_lua import language_lua`

affects: >=0.2.0

gotchaThe grammar version (0.5.0) does not match the tree-sitter library version. You must install tree-sitter separately.

fix

Run `pip install tree-sitter` before using tree-sitter-lua.
