I made a Python client generator for Solana Anchor projects (but I'm here to talk about codegen)

1. genpy

   1 1 29 6.4 Python

   An AST for Python code generation, in Python

   Generating Python code seems to be really uncommon. I was surprised at this - it's not an obviously insane thing to do, right? However I found almost no existing tooling to help me, and I did search for quite a while. Eventually I found a small, half-finished library called genpy and decided I would extend that as needed.

2. SaaSHub

3. anchorpy

   2 7 237 7.9 Python

   The Python Anchor client.

4. anchor-client-gen

   3 1 137 5.0 TypeScript

   A tool for generating solana web3 clients from anchor IDLs.

   In building the client generator, I mimicked the Typescript tool anchor-client-gen but had to change a lot of things that didn't work in Python or weren't Pythonic if translated directly. The trickiest part was keeping track of types that I had generated in one file that needed to be imported in another generated file.
