Description: # hypothesmith
        Hypothesis strategies for generating Python programs, something like CSmith.
        
        This is definitely pre-alpha, but if you want to play with it feel free!
        You can even keep the shiny pieces when - not if - it breaks.
        
        Get it today with [`pip install hypothesmith`](https://pypi.org/project/hypothesmith/),
        or by cloning [the GitHub repo](https://github.com/Zac-HD/hypothesmith).
        
        You can run the tests, such as they are, with `tox` on Python 3.6 or later.
        Use `tox -va` to see what environments are available.
        
        ## Usage
        This package provides two Hypothesis strategies for generating Python source code.
        
        The generated code will always be syntatically valid, and is useful for testing
        parsers, linters, auto-formatters, and other tools that operate on source code.
        
        > DO NOT EXECUTE CODE GENERATED BY THESE STRATEGIES.
        >
        > It could do literally anything that running Python code is able to do,
        > including changing, deleting, or uploading important data.  Arbitrary
        > code can be useful, but "arbitrary code execution" can be very, very bad.
        
        #### `hypothesmith.from_grammar(start="file_input", *, auto_target=True)`
        
        Generates syntactically-valid Python source code based on the grammar.
        
        Valid values for ``start`` are ``"single_input"``, ``"file_input"``, or
        ``"eval_input"``; respectively a single interactive statement, a module or
        sequence of commands read from a file, and input for the eval() function.
        
        If ``auto_target`` is ``True``, this strategy uses ``hypothesis.target()``
        internally to drive towards larger and more complex examples.  We recommend
        leaving this enabled, as the grammar is quite complex and only simple examples
        tend to be generated otherwise.
        
        #### `hypothesmith.from_node(node=libcst.Module, *, auto_target=True)`
        
        Generates syntactically-valid Python source code based on the node types
        defined by the [`LibCST`](https://libcst.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) project.
        
        You can pass any subtype of `libcst.CSTNode`.  Alternatively, you can use
        Hypothesis' built-in `from_type(node_type).map(lambda n: libcst.Module([n]).code`,
        after Hypothesmith has registered the required strategies.  However, this does
        not include automatic targeting and limitations of LibCST may lead to invalid
        code being generated.
        
        ## Notable bugs found with Hypothesmith
        - [BPO-40661, a segfault in the new parser](https://bugs.python.org/issue40661),
          was given maximum priority and blocked the planned release of CPython 3.9 beta1.
        - [BPO-38953](https://bugs.python.org/issue38953) `tokenize` -> `untokenize` roundtrip bugs.
        - [BPO-42218](https://bugs.python.org/issue42218) mishandled error case in new PEG parser.
        - [`lib2to3` errors on \r in comment](https://github.com/psf/black/issues/970)
        - [Black fails on files ending in a backslash](https://github.com/psf/black/issues/1012)
        - [At least three round-trip bugs in LibCST](https://github.com/Instagram/LibCST#acknowledgements)
          (search commits for "hypothesis")
        - [Invalid code generated by LibCST](https://github.com/Instagram/LibCST/issues/287)
