19
+ ## 1. Architecture Patterns
20
+
21
+ ### Multi-Stage Pipeline (Babel, TypeScript)
22
+
23
+ > "A critical best practice is avoiding the mistake of trying to generate directly the code of the target language from the AST of the original language."
24
+ > — [How to write a transpiler — Strumenta](https://tomassetti.me/how-to-write-a-transpiler/)
25
+
26
+ **Babel's 3 stages:** Parsing → Transformation → Code Generation
27
+ **TypeScript's 5 stages:** Scanner → Parser → Binder → Type Checker → Emitter
28
+
29
+ pine2pyne follows: `Lexer → Parser → Transformer → CodeGenerator`
30
+
31
+ **Future consideration:** An intermediate representation (IR) layer between Pine AST and PyneCore AST would decouple source and target, enable optimization passes, and simplify multi-target support.
32
+
33
+ ### Visitor Pattern with Path Context (Babel)
34
+
35
+ > "Path is an abstraction above node. It provides the link between nodes (the parent), as well as information such as scope and context."
36
+ > — [Manipulating AST with JavaScript — Tan Li Hau](https://lihautan.com/manipulating-ast-with-javascript)
37
+
38
+ Babel wraps each AST node in a `Path` object carrying parent references, scope info, and transformation metadata. This makes rules composable and independently testable.
39
+
40
+ **pine2pyne currently:** Uses method-dispatch (`_transform_*`) which works but lacks parent/scope context at each node. Adding a lightweight context object would clean up the `current_function_params` pattern.
41
+
42
+ ### Plugin Architecture (Babel)
43
+
44
+ > "Babel's visitor pattern allows adding functionality without altering main code, effectively separating concerns."
45
+ > — [Understanding ASTs by Building Your Own Babel Plugin — SitePoint](https://www.sitepoint.com/understanding-asts-building-babel-plugin/)
46
+
47
+ Each transformation rule becomes a pluggable pass. Benefits: community contributions, custom optimizations (constant folding, dead code elimination), core stays clean.
48
+
49
+ ---
50
+
51
+ ## 2. Testing Strategies
52
+
53
+ ### Four-Layer Testing
54
+
55
+ > "Testing should focus on four main aspects: (1) parsing source code and getting source AST, (2) converting source AST into intermediate AST, (3) converting intermediate AST into target AST, (4) converting target AST into target code."
56
+ > — [How to write a transpiler — Strumenta](https://tomassetti.me/how-to-write-a-transpiler/)
57
+
58
+ | Layer | What to Test | pine2pyne Status |
59
+ |-------|-------------|-----------------|
60
+ | Lexer | Token stream correctness | Implicit only |
61
+ | Parser | AST structure from source | Implicit only |
62
+ | Transformer | Each transformation rule independently | Implicit only |
63
+ | CodeGen | Python output formatting from mock AST | Implicit only |
64
+
65
+ Currently all testing is end-to-end (`test_all_samples.py`). Layer-by-layer unit tests would catch bugs earlier in the pipeline.
66
+
67
+ ### Snapshot Testing (Babel, Jest)
68
+
69
+ > "A typical snapshot test case renders a component, takes a snapshot, then compares it to a reference snapshot file."
70
+ > — [Snapshot Testing — Jest](https://jestjs.io/docs/snapshot-testing)
71
+
72
+ Captures the entire transpiled output as a reference. Any code change that alters output must be explicitly approved. With 100+ sample files already transpiling, this is essentially a free regression safety net.
73
+
74
+ ### Behavioral Equivalence Testing
75
+
76
+ > "Top-level functional equivalence requires that, for any possible set of inputs x, the two pieces of code produce the same output."
77
+ > — [LLM-Based Code Translation — UC Berkeley](https://www2.eecs.berkeley.edu/Pubs/TechRpts/2025/EECS-2025-174.pdf)
78
+
79
+ Store "known good" outputs from TradingView for key indicators. Compare transpiled PyneCore output numerically (with tolerance) against TradingView reference data.
80
+
81
+ ---
82
+
83
+ ## 3. Error Handling
84
+
85
+ ### Don't Stop at First Error
86
+
87
+ > "Common mistakes include vague error messages, inadequate recovery mechanisms, and failure to address edge cases."
88
+ > — [Error Handling in Compiler Design — GeeksforGeeks](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/error-handling-compiler-design/)
89
+
90
+ Collect all errors, report together. Users fix everything in one pass instead of one-at-a-time.
91
+
92
+ ### Panic-Mode Recovery
93
+
94
+ When encountering an error, skip tokens until reaching a "synchronization point" (newline, keyword). Prevents one syntax error from causing 100 cascading errors.
95
+
96
+ ### Helpful Error Messages with Context
97
+
98
+ ```
99
+ Error at line 42, column 15:
100
+ myVar = ta.sma(close, period
101
+ ^
102
+ Expected closing parenthesis ')' but found end of line.
103
+ ```
104
+
105
+ ---
106
+
107
+ ## 4. Code Generation
108
+
109
+ ### Source Maps (CoffeeScript, Babel)
110
+
111
+ > "Source maps are JSON files that contain information on how to map your transpiled source code back to its original source."
112
+ > — [What are source maps? — web.dev](https://web.dev/articles/source-maps)
113
+
114
+ Map generated Python line numbers back to original Pine Script lines. When a runtime error occurs in the generated `.py`, show the corresponding `.pine` source location.
115
+
116
+ ### Delegate to Existing Tools (CoffeeScript 2)
117
+
118
+ > "With transpilers like Babel around, there's no need for the CoffeeScript compiler to duplicate functionality."
119
+ > — [Announcing CoffeeScript 2](http://coffeescript.org/announcing-coffeescript-2/)
120
+
121
+ Keep the transpiler focused on syntax transformation. Let PyneCore handle runtime semantics (Series, Persistent, etc.). Don't reimplement algorithms — just map function names.
122
+
123
+ ---
124
+
125
+ ## 5. Anti-Patterns to Avoid
126
+
127
+ | Anti-Pattern | Why It's Bad | Alternative |
128
+ |--------------|-------------|-------------|
129
+ | Direct source-to-target generation | Complex, fragile, hard to test | Multi-stage pipeline with AST |
130
+ | No intermediate representation | Couples source and target tightly | Add IR layer between ASTs |
131
+ | Cascading errors | One error causes 100+ spurious errors | Panic-mode recovery |
132
+ | Vague error messages | Users don't know how to fix | Add context, hints, source snippets |
133
+ | No regression tests | Changes break existing code silently | Snapshot testing |
134
+ | Monolithic transformer | Hard to maintain | Visitor pattern + composable passes |
135
+ | Stopping at first error | Slow iteration cycle | Collect all errors |

154
+ ## Top 3 Actionable Next Steps — Implementation Details
155
+
156
+ ### 1. Extract Duplicated Method Sets to `pine_builtins.py`
157
+
158
+ **Problem:** `label_methods`, `line_methods`, `box_methods`, `table_methods` sets are defined 3 times in `transformer.py` (lines ~1320, ~1408, ~1507) with **inconsistencies** between them (e.g., `copy` missing from Location 1, `cell_set_text` only in Location 2, `matrix_methods` only in Location 3).
159
+
160
+ **Implementation:**
161
+
162
+ ```python
163
+ # pine_builtins.py — add after PYNECORE_METHOD_TRANSFORMS (line 243)
164
+
165
+ LABEL_METHODS: set[str] = {
166
+ 'set_x', 'set_y', 'set_xy', 'set_text', 'set_color', 'set_textcolor',
167
+ 'set_size', 'set_style', 'set_textalign', 'set_tooltip',
168
+ 'get_x', 'get_y', 'get_text', 'copy', 'delete',
169
+ }
170
+ LINE_METHODS: set[str] = {
171
+ 'set_x1', 'set_y1', 'set_x2', 'set_y2', 'set_xy1', 'set_xy2',
172
+ 'set_extend', 'set_width', 'set_xloc',
173
+ 'get_x1', 'get_y1', 'get_x2', 'get_y2', 'get_price', 'copy', 'delete',
174
+ }
175
+ BOX_METHODS: set[str] = {
176
+ 'set_left', 'set_right', 'set_top', 'set_bottom',
177
+ 'set_lefttop', 'set_rightbottom',
178
+ 'set_border_color', 'set_border_width', 'set_border_style',
179
+ 'set_bgcolor', 'set_text', 'set_text_color', 'set_text_size',
180
+ 'get_left', 'get_right', 'get_top', 'get_bottom', 'copy', 'delete',
181
+ }
182
+ TABLE_METHODS: set[str] = {'cell', 'merge_cells', 'set_position', 'clear', 'cell_set_text'}
183
+ MAP_METHODS: set[str] = {'put', 'put_all', 'get', 'remove', 'clear', 'keys', 'values', 'size'}
184
+ MATRIX_METHODS: set[str] = {'add_row', 'add_col', 'get', 'set'}
185
+ ```
186
+
187
+ Then in `transformer.py`:
188
+
189
+ ```python
190
+ # Update import (around line 11)
191
+ from .pine_builtins import (
192
+ ...,
193
+ LABEL_METHODS, LINE_METHODS, BOX_METHODS, TABLE_METHODS,
194
+ MAP_METHODS, MATRIX_METHODS,
195
+ )
196
+ ```
197
+
198
+ Delete all 3 inline set definitions. Replace references with the imported constants.
199
+
200
+ **Behavioral note on `copy`:** Location 1 (chained dotted calls, line ~1320) intentionally excludes `copy` from sets — it has a separate `elif method_name == 'copy'` that routes to `udt_copy()`. With `copy` now in the canonical sets, this `elif` would become unreachable. Fix: check `copy` BEFORE the set lookup in the chained dotted handler:
201
+
202
+ ```python
203
+ # In _transform_chained_dotted_method_call:
204
+ if method_name == 'copy':
205
+ # Always udt_copy for chained access (obj.field.copy())
206
+ return FunctionCall(func='udt_copy', ...)
207
+
208
+ module_name = _resolve_module_for_method(method_name) # Now safe — copy handled above
209
+ ```
210
+
211
+ **Effort:** Small. ~30 min. Low risk.
212
+
213
+ ---
214
+
215
+ ### 2. Split `_transform_function_call()` into Focused Methods
216
+
217
+ **Problem:** 207-line god method with 5+ responsibilities, cyclomatic complexity ~25, 8+ nesting levels.
218
+
219
+ **Implementation — extract 3 helpers + 1 utility:**
220
+
221
+ #### Helper A: `_resolve_module_for_method(method_name, type_str=None) -> Optional[str]`
222
+
223
+ Centralizes the repeated "method name → module" resolution. Two modes:
224
+
225
+ ```python
226
+ def _resolve_module_for_method(self, method_name: str, type_str: str = None) -> Optional[str]:
227
+ """Resolve PyneCore module name from method name and/or object type."""
228
+ if type_str:
229
+ # Unwrap Persistent[X] / Series[X]
230
+ if type_str.startswith(('Persistent[', 'Series[')):
231
+ type_str = type_str[type_str.index('[') + 1 : type_str.rindex(']')]
232
+ # Map type → module
233
+ if type_str.startswith('list'): return 'array'
234
+ if type_str.startswith('dict'): return 'map'
235
+ if type_str in ('line', 'label', 'box', 'table', 'linefill',
236
+ 'Line', 'Label', 'Box', 'Table'):
237
+ return type_str.lower()
238
+ if type_str.startswith(('matrix', 'Matrix')): return 'matrix'
239
+ if '<' in type_str: return type_str[:type_str.index('<')]
240
+ return None
241
+
242
+ # Heuristic: infer from method name alone
243
+ if method_name in LABEL_METHODS: return 'label'
244
+ if method_name in LINE_METHODS: return 'line'
245
+ if method_name in BOX_METHODS: return 'box'
246
+ if method_name in TABLE_METHODS: return 'table'
247
+ if method_name in MAP_METHODS: return 'map'
248
+ if method_name in MATRIX_METHODS: return 'matrix'
249
+ return None
250
+ ```
251
+
252
+ This replaces 3 copies of the same if/elif chain + 3 copies of the type unwrapping logic.
253
+
254
+ #### Helper B: `_transform_dotted_string_method_call(call, func) -> Optional[FunctionCall]`
255
+
256
+ Extracted from lines 1262-1307. Handles `var.method()` patterns:
257
+ 1. Check @method user functions
258
+ 2. Look up var type from `current_function_params` / symbol table
259
+ 3. Call `_resolve_module_for_method(method, type_str)` for module resolution
260
+ 4. Return `module.method(var, args...)` or None
261
+
262
+ #### Helper C: `_transform_chained_dotted_method_call(call, func) -> Optional[FunctionCall]`
263
+
264
+ Extracted from lines 1309-1351. Handles `obj.field.method()` patterns:
265
+ 1. Guard: skip if first component is a known module or uppercase
266
+ 2. Check `copy` special case → `udt_copy()` (BEFORE set matching)
267
+ 3. Call `_resolve_module_for_method(method)` for heuristic resolution
268
+ 4. Return `module.method(obj.field, args...)` or None
269
+
270
+ #### Helper D: `_transform_member_access_method_call(call, func) -> Optional[FunctionCall]`
271
+
272
+ Extracted from lines 1405-1451. Handles `MemberAccess` node-based calls:
273
+ 1. Call `_resolve_module_for_method(method)` for module resolution
274
+ 2. Return `module.method(obj, args...)` or None
275
+
276
+ #### Rewritten `_transform_function_call`
277
+
278
+ Becomes a ~50-line dispatcher:
279
+
280
+ ```python
281
+ def _transform_function_call(self, call):
282
+ func = call.func
283
+ if isinstance(func, str):
284
+ if '.' in func and '<' not in func and '.' not in func.split('.')[0]:
285
+ result = self._transform_dotted_string_method_call(call, func)
286
+ if result: return result
287
+
288
+ if '.' in func:
289
+ first = func.split('.')[0]
290
+ if first not in KNOWN_MODULES and not first[0].isupper():
291
+ result = self._transform_chained_dotted_method_call(call, func)
292
+ if result: return result
293
+
294
+ # Special cases (timeframe.in_seconds, array.max/min) — kept inline, ~20 lines
295
+ # Generics, UDT.new, int/float casts, renames — kept inline, ~20 lines
296
+
297
+ elif isinstance(func, MemberAccess):
298
+ result = self._transform_member_access_method_call(call, func)
299
+ if result: return result
300
+ # Generics in MemberAccess — kept inline, ~8 lines
301
+
302
+ # Transform args/kwargs and return
303
+ ...
304
+ ```
305
+
306
+ **Also apply to `_transform_method_call`:** Replace its inline sets (lines 1507-1511) with `_resolve_module_for_method()`. Keep the existing `copy` + MemberAccess guard (line 1485) before set-based resolution.
307
+
308
+ **Effort:** Medium. ~2 hours. Medium risk — requires careful control flow preservation. Verify with full test suite after each helper extraction.
309
+
310
+ ---
311
+
312
+ ### 3. Add Snapshot Tests
313
+
314
+ **Problem:** Currently `test_all_samples.py` tests "does it run without error" but doesn't catch output regressions. A refactoring that silently changes generated code would go undetected.
315
+
316
+ **Implementation:**
317
+
318
+ #### Option A: Using `pytest-snapshot` (recommended)
319
+
320
+ ```bash
321
+ pip install pytest-snapshot
322
+ ```
323
+
324
+ ```python
325
+ # tests/test_transpile_snapshots.py
326
+
327
+ import pytest
328
+ from pathlib import Path
329
+ from pine2pyne import transpile
330
+
331
+ SAMPLE_DIR = Path(__file__).parent.parent / 'sample' / 'pinescript'
332
+ PINE_FILES = sorted(SAMPLE_DIR.glob('*.pine'))
333
+
334
+
335
+ @pytest.fixture
336
+ def snapshot_dir():
337
+ return Path(__file__).parent / 'snapshots'
338
+
339
+
340
+ @pytest.mark.parametrize('pine_file', PINE_FILES, ids=lambda f: f.stem)
341
+ def test_transpile_snapshot(pine_file, snapshot):
342
+ """Verify transpiled output matches stored snapshot."""
343
+ source = pine_file.read_text()
344
+ result = transpile(source)
345
+ snapshot.assert_match(result, f'{pine_file.stem}.py')
346
+ ```
347
+
348
+ **First run:** `pytest --snapshot-update` — creates `tests/snapshots/*.py` reference files.
349
+ **Subsequent runs:** `pytest` — fails if any output differs from snapshot.
350
+ **Intentional changes:** `pytest --snapshot-update` — review diff, accept.
351
+
352
+ #### Option B: Manual snapshot directory (no extra dependency)
353
+
354
+ ```python
355
+ # tests/test_transpile_snapshots.py
356
+
357
+ import pytest
358
+ from pathlib import Path
359
+ from pine2pyne import transpile
360
+
361
+ SAMPLE_DIR = Path(__file__).parent.parent / 'sample' / 'pinescript'
362
+ SNAPSHOT_DIR = Path(__file__).parent / 'snapshots'
363
+ PINE_FILES = sorted(SAMPLE_DIR.glob('*.pine'))
364
+
365
+
366
+ @pytest.mark.parametrize('pine_file', PINE_FILES, ids=lambda f: f.stem)
367
+ def test_transpile_snapshot(pine_file):
368
+ """Verify transpiled output matches stored snapshot."""
369
+ source = pine_file.read_text()
370
+ result = transpile(source)
371
+
372
+ snapshot_path = SNAPSHOT_DIR / f'{pine_file.stem}.py'
373
+
374
+ if not snapshot_path.exists():
375
+ # First run: create snapshot
376
+ snapshot_path.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
377
+ snapshot_path.write_text(result)
378
+ pytest.skip(f'Snapshot created: {snapshot_path.name}')
379
+
380
+ expected = snapshot_path.read_text()
381
+ assert result == expected, (
382
+ f'Transpiled output differs from snapshot.\n'
383
+ f'Run with --update-snapshots to accept changes.\n'
384
+ f'Snapshot: {snapshot_path}'
385
+ )
386
+ ```
387
+
388
+ Add a `conftest.py` fixture to handle `--update-snapshots` flag:
389
+
390
+ ```python
391
+ # tests/conftest.py
392
+
393
+ def pytest_addoption(parser):
394
+ parser.addoption('--update-snapshots', action='store_true', default=False)
395
+
396
+ @pytest.fixture(autouse=True)
397
+ def update_snapshots_if_requested(request, pine_file=None):
398
+ yield
399
+ if request.config.getoption('--update-snapshots'):
400
+ # Re-run and overwrite snapshot after test
401
+ ...
402
+ ```
403
+
404
+ #### Workflow
405
+
406
+ ```bash
407
+ # Generate initial snapshots (one-time)
408
+ pytest tests/test_transpile_snapshots.py --snapshot-update
409
+
410
+ # Normal development — catch regressions
411
+ pytest tests/test_transpile_snapshots.py
412
+
413

418
+ #### What this catches
419
+
420
+ - Method set changes that alter which module a method resolves to
421
+ - Transformer refactoring that changes code generation order
422
+ - Import resolver changes that add/remove/reorder imports
423
+ - Any "pure refactoring" that accidentally changes output
424
+
425
+ **Effort:** Small. ~1 hour. Zero risk — additive only, no existing code changes.

+ ## Installation & Setup
4
+
5
+ ```bash
6
+ # Navigate to pynecore directory
7

11
+ ```
12
+

14
+
15
+ ## Basic Usage
16
+
17
+ ### Convert Single File
18
+
19
+ **To stdout (view output):**
20
+ ```bash
21
+ python -m pine2pyne input.pine
22
+ ```
23
+
24
+ **To file:**
25
+ ```bash
26
+ python -m pine2pyne input.pine -o output.py
27
+ ```
28
+
29
+ **Example:**
30
+ ```bash
31
+ python -m pine2pyne other_transpiler/Sample.pine -o other_transpiler/Sample_converted.py
32
+ ```
33
+
34
+ ---
35
+
36
+ ## Batch Conversion
37
+
38
+ ### Convert All Files in Directory
39
+
40
+ ```bash
41
+ # All .pine files in a directory
42
+ python -m pine2pyne strategies/*.pine -o output/
43
+
44
+ # Specific pattern
45
+ python -m pine2pyne indicators/*_v6.pine -o converted_indicators/
46
+ ```
47
+
48
+ **Example:**
49
+ ```bash
50
+ # Convert all example files
51
+ python -m pine2pyne examples/*.pine -o output/examples/
52
+ ```
53
+
54
+ ---
55
+
56
+ ## Validation & Testing
57
+
58
+ ### Validate Without Converting
59
+
60
+ ```bash
61
+ python -m pine2pyne strategy.pine --validate
62
+ ```
63
+
64
+ This checks:
65
+ - ✅ Syntax correctness
66
+ - ✅ Parse tree generation
67
+ - ❌ Does NOT generate Python output
68
+
69
+ **Use when:**
70
+ - Checking if Pine Script is valid
71
+ - Debugging syntax errors
72
+ - Quick validation before conversion
73
+

75
+
76
+ ## Common Workflows
77
+
78
+ ### Workflow 1: Convert TradingView Strategy
79
+
80
+ ```bash
81
+ # 1. Copy Pine Script from TradingView
82
+ # Save as: my_strategy.pine
83
+
84
+ # 2. Convert to Python
85
+ python -m pine2pyne my_strategy.pine -o workdir/scripts/my_strategy.py
86
+
87
+ # 3. Run in PyneCore
88
+ cd workdir
89
+ pyne run scripts/my_strategy.py data/BTC_USDT_1D.ohlcv
90
+ ```
91
+
92
+ ### Workflow 2: Batch Convert Library
93
+
94
+ ```bash
95
+ # Convert entire indicator library
96
+ python -m pine2pyne ~/TradingView/Indicators/*.pine -o workdir/scripts/indicators/
97
+
98
+ # Review converted files
99
+ ls -lh workdir/scripts/indicators/
100
+ ```
101
+
102
+ ### Workflow 3: Test Before Conversion
103
+
104
+ ```bash
105
+ # Validate syntax
106
+ python -m pine2pyne strategy.pine --validate
107
+
108
+ # If valid, convert
109
+ python -m pine2pyne strategy.pine -o converted_strategy.py
110
+
111
+ # Compare with ground truth (if exists)
112
+ diff -u ground_truth.py converted_strategy.py
113
+ ```
114
+

116
+
117
+ ## Real-World Examples
118
+
119
+ ### Example 1: Simple Indicator
120
+
121
+ **Input** (`my_ma.pine`):
122
+ ```pinescript
123
+ //@version=6
124
+ indicator("My MA", overlay=true)
125
+ length = input.int(20, "Length")
126
+ ma = ta.sma(close, length)
127
+ plot(ma, "MA", color=color.blue)
128
+ ```
129
+
130
+ **Command:**
131
+ ```bash
132
+ python -m pine2pyne my_ma.pine -o my_ma.py
133
+ ```
134
+
135
+ **Output** (`my_ma.py`):
136
+ ```python
137
+ from pynecore.lib import script, input, ta, close, plot, color
138
+
139
+ @script.indicator("My MA", overlay=True)
140
+ def main(length: int = input.int(20, "Length")):
141
+ ma = ta.sma(close, length)
142
+ plot(ma, "MA", color=color.blue)
143
+ ```
144
+
145
+ ### Example 2: Strategy with State
146
+
147
+ **Command:**
148
+ ```bash
149
+ python -m pine2pyne strategies/long_only.pine -o workdir/scripts/long_only.py
150
+ ```
151
+
152
+ The transpiler will:
153
+ - ✅ Convert `var` declarations to `Persistent[T]`
154
+ - ✅ Extract `input.*()` to function parameters
155
+ - ✅ Convert `strategy.entry/exit/close` calls
156
+ - ✅ Transform `for i = 0 to 10` to `for i in pine_range(0, 10)`
157
+ - ✅ Add proper type hints
158
+

160
+
161
+ ## Output Locations
162
+
163
+ ### Recommended Directory Structure
164
+
165
+ ```
166
+ pynecore/
167
+ ├── pine2pyne/ # Transpiler source
168
+ ├── workdir/
169
+ │ └── scripts/ # ⭐ Put converted strategies here
170
+ │ ├── strategies/
171
+ │ └── indicators/
172
+ ├── other_transpiler/ # Test files and comparisons
173
+ └── examples/ # Example Pine Scripts
174
+ ```
175
+
176
+ **Why `workdir/scripts/`?**
177
+ - PyneCore `pyne run` command expects scripts here
178
+ - Easy access to data files in `workdir/data/`
179
+ - Organized separation from test files

183
+ ## Troubleshooting
184
+
185
+ ### Issue 1: "No module named pine2pyne"
186
+
187
+ **Problem:** Running from wrong directory
188
+
189
+ **Solution:**
190
+ ```bash
191
+ cd /home/mike/workspace/github/pine2pyne
192
+ python -m pine2pyne input.pine
193
+ ```
194
+
195
+ ### Issue 2: Missing Series Import
196
+
197
+ **Symptom:** Converted Python has `sma5: Series = ta.sma(...)` but no Series import
198
+
199
+ **Solution:** Add manually at top:
200
+ ```python
201
+ from pynecore.types import Series
202
+ ```
203
+
204
+ ### Issue 3: Output File Already Exists
205
+
206
+ **Problem:** `-o` flag won't overwrite existing files by default
207
+
208
+ **Solution:** Use force flag (if implemented) or delete first:
209
+ ```bash
210
+ rm output.py
211
+ python -m pine2pyne input.pine -o output.py
212
+ ```
213
+

215
+
216
+ ## Advanced Usage
217
+
218
+ ### Pipe to Other Tools
219
+
220
+ ```bash
221
+ # Convert and immediately view
222
+ python -m pine2pyne strategy.pine | less
223
+
224
+ # Convert and count lines
225
+ python -m pine2pyne strategy.pine | wc -l
226
+
227
+ # Convert and search for specific function
228
+ python -m pine2pyne strategy.pine | grep "strategy.entry"
229
+ ```
230
+
231
+ ### Combine with Git
232
+
233
+ ```bash
234
+ # Convert all changed .pine files
235
+ git diff --name-only --diff-filter=M "*.pine" | while read file; do
236
+ python -m pine2pyne "$file" -o "${file%.pine}.py"
237
+ done
238
+ ```
