Invoke Python libraries from Guile

This is PyGuile, a library for running Python code within Guile scripts.

One of the problems, which less popular scripting languages encounter, is the lack of libraries for performing various operations. Most frequently, those libraries are available - but for another scripting language.

As a first step to alleviate this problem, PyGuile allows scripts written in Scheme and executed by Guile to invoke Python libraries. This makes the rich library ecosystem of Python available also to Guile users.

If you think that Scheme is the best programming language in which to implement your application, but you are held back due to lack of libraries for performing certain operations, then PyGuile may be the answer for you.

See INSTALL for a description of how to build and install this library.

The initial version has not been maintained since 2008 and will probably not work with modern versions of Guile.

There is no executable in this package. To run it, just run guile and execute the (use-modules (pyguile)) command.
