It's Python with a Lissp.

Emerging

This project lets Python developers write code using a Lisp-like syntax. It takes Lisp-style expressions as input and compiles them into standard Python code, which can then be executed. This is useful for Python developers who prefer Lisp's functional programming paradigm and powerful macro system.

440 stars. No commits in the last 6 months. Available on PyPI.

Use this if you are a Python developer who wants to leverage Lisp's syntactic macros and functional programming style while still working within the Python ecosystem.

Not ideal if you are looking for a new programming language entirely separate from Python or if you prefer Python's native syntax and object-oriented features.
