Language

✓ from tree_sitter_elixir import language

✗ from tree_sitter_elixir import Language

The correct symbol is a function 'language()', not a class. Importing 'Language' gives the tree-sitter built-in class, not this grammar.

Basic usage: load the Elixir language, parse a source string, and print the syntax tree.

from tree_sitter import Language, Parser # Load the Elixir language as a shared object ELIXIR_LANGUAGE = Language('tree_sitter_elixir', 'elixir') # Create a parser and set the language parser = Parser() parser.set_language(ELIXIR_LANGUAGE) # Parse some Elixir code tree = parser.parse(b""" defmodule MyModule do def hello do :world end end """) print(tree.root_node.sexp())

Known issues

breakingVersion 0.3.0 changed the Rust crate dependency to tree-sitter-language instead of tree-sitter. Python package may require tree-sitter >=0.21.

fix

Ensure tree-sitter is installed at version 0.21 or later: pip install 'tree-sitter>=0.21'

affects: >=0.3.0

deprecatedThe built-in queries in 0.3.4 replaced #match? predicates with #any-of?. Custom queries using #match? may need updating.

fix

Update custom queries to use #any-of? instead of #match? when matching multiple values.

affects: >=0.3.4

gotchaThe language() function from tree_sitter_elixir is misspelled as 'language' (lowercase 'l') while the official tree-sitter Python binding uses 'Language' (uppercase). This causes confusion.

fix

Use 'from tree_sitter_elixir import language' (lowercase) and call language() to get the language object.

affects: all
