Call Python 3 functions and methods from within your Go program while exposing Go functions and methods to Python.
This is not an implementation of Python in Go. Rather, py4go works by embedding the CPython runtime into your Go program using cgo functionality.
The expected use cases are not low-latency integration, but rather tight bidirectional integration. You can combine the full Go ecosystem with the full Python ecosystem.
Though you can achieve some integration by using Go's exec
package to run python, with py4go you get fine-grained access to individual functions, objects,
methods, and variables.
To get started try running scripts/example. Note that you need the Python
development libraries installed. E.g. in Fedora:
sudo dnf install python3-devel
