Swiftpy : embedding Python in Swift

Requirements

• OSX 10.12 (may work on a lower version, though this is untested)
• Swift version 3.1, swiftlang-802.0.53 (may work on a lower version, though this is untested)
• Python 2.7 (system Python)

Building

git checkout develop
swift build

run demo

.build/debug/PySwift_Demo

Features

• Run Python code from string,
• Load Python module,
• Call Python functions, and methods on Python objects, with positional and named arguments,
• Convert String, Int, Float, Array/List between Swift & Python,
• Getting/setting attributes from object.

Usage

see Demo

To-do

1. DOCUMENT ALL THE THINGS
2. Support more types for « toll-free » bridging of objects between Swift and Python,
3. Smooth things out and allow manual creation of Python counterparts for Swift custom classes (essentially, just like #2 but for your own classes),
4. Automagic creation of Python wrappers for Swift objects (eventually).

How can I help ?

Do your things and submit a PR. Alternatively, I'll soon put up a list of small things to do, in addition to the Todo.
