PyTuring

For my work on Turing's assertation in On Computable Numbers, I thought it appropriate to create a programming language which would virtually implement the physical architecture of his proposed computing machine. PyTuring is the first iteration of this programming language, created in late March. The language consists of a four-step command structure with read, write, move, and state changing capabilities. At conception, the language allowed for a finite, discrete tape with a Unicode-8 alphabet. Command syntax started (and stayed) as follows: {STATE} {TAPE VALUE} {ACTION} {NEW STATE}. This structure is based on Turing's own structure for the command states of his computing machines. For example, you would read the line:
