Gopyn (GOlang PYthon iNtegration)

Abstraction of the Python C API using CGO, developed with Python 3.11.1

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/albertoaer/gopyn/objects"
	"github.com/albertoaer/gopyn/session"
)

func main() {
	python := session.MainPython()
	python.RunFile("script.py")
	globals := objects.Wrap(python.Globals())
	i, e := globals.Get("some_variable").Int()
	fmt.Printf("%d %v\n", i, e) // Print the value with the possible conversion error
}

Future features

• Full support between Python and Golang basic types
• Calls to Python functions
• Embedded Golang callbacks into Python
• Reliable thread safe concurrency model

How to build with Gopyn?

It's recommended to use a building script or tool such as make, that would make easier to link every python dependency.

The following is the one I use on Windows, setting PYTHON_PATH as the python root directory.

PYTHON_PATH=

LIBS=-lpython3 -lpython311 -l_tkinter

main:
	CGO_CFLAGS=-I$(PYTHON_PATH)/include CGO_LDFLAGS="-L$(PYTHON_PATH)/libs $(LIBS)" go build
