Embedded

Embedding Python in D

A minimal D program with embedded python might look like this:

Of interest in pyd.pyd are PydObject, py, and d_type, which are documented elsewhere, and py_init, which calls Py_Initialize and handles details relating to extending embedded python.

Examples

This example introduces us to three new functions: on_py_init, add_module, and py_def.

add_module is used to create a new python module in the embedded interpreter. Since the underlying mechanics vary sufficiently between python 2 and python 3, add_module must only be called from within on_py_init

py_def can be used to define a python function and then call it in D as if it were a D function
