Learning with lis.py
This repository contains variations of Peter Norvig's
lis.py interpreter
for a subset of Scheme,
described in his post (How to Write a (Lisp) Interpreter (in Python)).
Provenance, Copyright and License
lis.py is
published
in the norvig/pytudes repository on Github.
The copyright holder is Peter Norvig and the code is licensed under the
MIT license.
Unless otherwise noted, I wrote the changes and additions described in the README files in each directory.
