I've developed a simple interface package, taking advantage of the fact that all applications built with our tools can link and run against the Python interpreter, to allow a seamles invokation seamless invocation of Python code from C++. Jim Chiang has provided invaluable help and suggested extensions.
...
The very small interface packages is "embed_python". It is currently in ScienceTools LATEST, and will migrate to the release soon. Non-ScienceTool users can check it out and build it.
Here is the outline of a very simple complete package that runs a test program, named "test_python", in only three files. The requirements file:
| Code Block |
|---|
package test_python use embed_python * application runit main.cxx |
...
It is now in use by the IRF code.
Additional features that are supported, and easy to use, are loading lists and calling functions.
