This directory contains various Duktape Python tools which are included in the end user distributable.

The main tool is configure.py which simultaneously creates a duk_config.h configuration file and prepares source files for compilation. These two operations are combined because:

1. Configuration options may affect source file preparation.
2. Some features involve metaprogramming. For example, when using ROM built-ins YAML metadata is used for automatic code generation for the ROM object initializers.

There are also other miscellaneous tools, e.g. utilities to scan potential fixed strings from source files, dump bytecode, and resolving file/line from combined source.

Because this tooling is part of the end user distributable, the tooling must be as portable as possible. For example:

• Avoid Unix path separators.
• Avoid depending on Python executable name, use sys.executable instead to launch Python commands.

The tooling has been written for Python 2.x. There's no support for Python 3.x at present.
