* Package name : python-pyorick Version : 1.4 Upstream Author : Dave Munro * URL : https://github.com/dhmunro/pyorick * License : BSD 2-Clause Description : The pyorick package starts yorick as a subprocess and provides an interface between python and yorick interpreted code. Features: + exec or eval arbitrary yorick code strings + get or set yorick variables + call yorick functions or subroutines with python arguments + get or set slices of large yorick arrays + terminal mode to interact with yorick by keyboard through python Most of the data is exchanged via binary pipes between the two interpreters. Yorick runs in a request-reply mode. Python prints anything yorick sends to stdout or stderr except prompts. The package yorick-yutils contains an interface (pyk.i) which allows the reverse: controlling Python from Yorick. The pyk.i approach however suffers from severe limitations (most notably, all data are sent via textual representations). The yorick-svipc and python(3)-svipc packages allow exchanging data between the two interpreters using shared memory. While not as straightforward to use as this package, the shared memory approach may avoid data duplication and can be used together with this package. The package will be hosted under the Debian Science umbrella, like the rest of the Yorick stack.
