One way to do it would be running python "service" executable, and you send
it the code via socket to execute.
In python the "do" equivalent is "exec()" ... although obviously the
service will need access to the data that is involved with the code.
Then you return the result to lc in whatever way w

Technically, that’s not correct. Simply being Turing complete doesn’t mean it
can do everything you might
:-) For example, interfacing to machine learning (& associated) libraries for
creating + running ML models (in my test case).

Both are turing complete, so there's technically nothing one can do that
the other can't, but some examples:
Suppose you want to generate prime numbers. In LiveCode you might write
this algorithm: https://github.com/gcanyon/primelist
Generating the primes up to 1,000,000 takes over 1.3 seconds on

I'll try it.
Thanks so much for your help.

Probably not much, but there are a lot of libraries that exist for python that
you might want to use to save time.
