python bridge for nodejs!

Hyper-beta, don't hesitate to try and report bugs!

For the module to compile, you need cpython's development headers. Example for Ubuntu : run sudo apt-get install python-dev

Then simply: npm install node-python

// python stuff
var python = require('node-python');
var os = python.import('os');

// nodejs stuff
var path = require('path');

assert(os.path.basename(os.getcwd()) == path.basename(process.cwd()))

You should now go have fun with that and make it brokes :)

What should work:

• Conversion between None and Undefined
• Conversion between Python's and Node's Boolean
• Conversion between Python's and Node's String
• Calling python functions from node
• Conversion from Python's Array to Node's Array

What may be broken:

• Losing precision from Python's 64 bits Integer to Node's Number
• If you're using node v0.6.x (please upgrade) you'll have to manually compile with node-gyp

What's to be done:

• Conversion from Node's Array to Python's Array
• Pass javascript object to python
• Call javascript function from python

What would be realy awesome:

• Proper object introspection

• v0.0.4 : 2013-10-09
  • use the bindings module to load the native extension
• v0.0.3 : 2013-07-06
  • Refactor
  • Better type conversion & error handling
  • Compilation now properly working on both OSX and Linux. Windows compilation may work too
• v0.0.2 : 2012-12-21
  • Forked from chrisdickinson/node-python
  • Compilation with node-gyp
