---- "Typcl [http://www.equi4.com/critlib/typcl.README] ... [[i]]s an extension to use Tcl ''from'' Python." ---- [Elmer] goes the other way. [Elmer] allows developers to write code in Python and execute it in Tcl. The resulting Tcl interface to the Python code generated by [Elmer] is transparent to the Tcl user... Python calls appear as Tcl calls ( "foo( 1, "a" )" in Python appears as "foo 1 a" in Tcl, for example) and Python and Tcl data types are automatically mapped (Tcl lists are converted to Python lists, Python dictionaries are returned as Tcl associative arrays, etc.). [Elmer] also supports Python's "freeze" module, allowing a Python developer to deliver a single library consisting of several Python files "frozen" in to the Tcl application...no need to set PYTHONPATH or have Python source files accompanying the Tcl application. tcl2py.py ! ---- What: tclpython Where: http://jfontain.free.fr/tclpython.htm Description: Tcl extenson which allows you to create python interpreters from within a Tcl application and evaluate python code. Currently at version 3.1 Updated: 07/2004 Contact: mailto:jfontain@free.fr (Jean-Luc Fontaine ) ---- 11Jan05 - [Brian Theado] - I wonder what it would take to make python into a Tcl loadable dll and have python tkinter be able to access Tcl/Tk functionality that is already running in Tcl? Probably changes to tkinter to allow Tcl functionality to be passed into it after Tcl loaded the python interpreter (as opposed to loading Tcl as a python extension as I suppose it currently does). It would be cool to be able to run tkinter applications bundled as a starkit. ---- See also [Minotaur]
