Hi, I'm wondering (after a bit of googling) whether there exists a Python binding to any open source Lisp environment (like librep or some Scheme or Common Lisp implementation) that could be recommended for non-toy use?
My intention would be to use the Lisp environment to augment and help my Python programming (and/or conversely: have access to the wealth of Python libraries and Python code from a lispy language), which yields at least the following requirements: - the type and runtime environment system would need to be quite transparently integrated, e.g. being able to use (pass, call, set/get attr) Python objects in Lisp and vice versa with minimum hassle - the performance should match at least that of Python's. That probably requires a native interpreter, although the ability to compile Lisp to Python bytecode could do (if the lispy language could be efficiently implemented in the Python bytecode) There are many Scheme/Lisp interpreters written in Python, but those I've found and looked at I consider to be more of proof of concepts. Nesting different interpreters costs probably an order of magnitude in speed. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
