scheme_reader.py

"""This module implements the built-in data types of the Scheme language, along
with a parser for Scheme expressions.

In addition to the types defined in this file, some data types in Scheme are
represented by their corresponding type in Python:
    number:       int or float
    symbol:       string
    boolean:      bool
    unspecified:  None

The __repr__ method of a Scheme value will return a Python expression that
would be evaluated to the value, where possible.

The __str__ method of a Scheme value will return a Scheme expression that
would be read to the value, where possible.
