Lunatic Python

Lunatic Python is a two-way bridge between Python and Lua, allowing these languages to intercommunicate. Being two-way means that it allows Lua inside Python, Python inside Lua, Lua inside Python inside Lua, Python inside Lua inside Python, and so on.

Here are two examples giving an idea about what it does.

Lua inside Python

 
>>> table = lua.eval("table")
>>> def show(key, value):
...   print "key is %s and value is %s" % (`key`, `value`)
... 
>>> t = lua.eval("{a=1, b=2, c=3}")
>>> table.foreach(t, show)
key is 'a' and value is 1
key is 'c' and value is 3
key is 'b' and value is 2
>>>

Python inside Lua

> function notthree(num)
>>   return (num ~= 3)
>> end
> l = python.eval("[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]")
> filter = python.eval("filter")
> =filter(notthree, l)
[1, 2, 4, 5]
