TITLE

Inline::Python

SYNOPSIS

use Inline::Python;
my $py = Inline::Python.new();
$py.run('print("hello world")');

# Or
say EVAL('1+3', :lang<Python>);

use string:from<Python>;
say string::capwords('foo bar'); # prints "Foo Bar"

DESCRIPTION

Module for executing Python code and accessing Python libraries from Perl 6.

BUILDING

You will need a Python built with the -fPIC option (position independent code). Most distributions build their Python that way. To do this with pyenv, use something like:

PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-shared" pyenv install 2.7.12
pyenv global 2.7.12
pyenv rehash

With a python in your path, then build:

perl6 configure.pl6
make test
make install
