### CHANGES ### --- version 4.0 --- allowed evaluation of Tcl code in parent Tcl interpreter from Python interpreters (thanks to Daniel Savard) added tclpython.h file for possible use in extensions to tclpython allowed Tcl interpreter access from C code so tclpython can be extended included Tcl stubs checking macros in tclpython.c ### README ### tclpython version 4.0: a Python package for Tcl This package allows the execution of Python (version 2.2 or above) code from a Tcl interpreter, as in: package require tclpython 4 set interpreter [python::interp new] $interpreter exec {print("Hello World")} puts [$interpreter eval 3/2.0] python::interp delete $interpreter You can actually create several Python interpreters this way, if the tclpython package was linked against a Python library compiled with threads support, otherwise only 1 Python interpreter can exist at a time. Starting with version 4.0, you can also access and use the parent Tcl interpreter from a Python interpreter: package require tclpython 4 set interpreter [python::interp new] puts [$interpreter eval {tcl.eval('clock format [clock seconds]')}] python::interp delete $interpreter You should pay attention to space with the python interpreter. The line in the sample will work but this one will not: puts [$interpreter eval { tcl.eval('clock format [clock seconds]') }] This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
