Description

Beside other interpreter environments (

Lisp,

Perl,

Tcl and

CfgScript) ACDK also supports Python with its Dynamic Method Invokation (DMI) interface.

With the

acdk_python library you can integrate a Python interpreter into ACDK application.


RPythonInterpreter pi = new PythonInterpreter();
pi->parse("print \"Hello World\"\n");

From inside the Python language all ACDK objects can be easely be accessed without generating any futher glue code:


def foo(string1, string2):
  sb = acdk.Object("acdk/lang/StringBuffer", string1)
  sb.append(string2)
  return sb.toString()
  
acdk.peek_static("acdk/lang/System", "out").println(foo("Hello Python", " from ACDK"))

The executable acdkpython provides a simple command line Python interpreter.

Notes

To compile acdk_python on Windows you have to compile Python itself.
The binary distribution of 2.* doesn't work, because there are files missing.

Before compiling acdk_python you probably have to ajust the values for Pythons include directory and library directory/name.

Therefore edit the acdk_python/python_cfg.lsp and remake the make file with:
> make -f acdk_python. makemake
Therefore you have to compiled and installed acdk_lisp.
