Python -- interface to Python

Description

This package provides a basic interface to run Python code within Macaulay2 and to convert back and forth between Python and Macaulay2 objects.

i1 : toPython {1, 2/3, "foo", (1, 2, 3), hashTable {"foo" => "bar"}}

o1 = [1, 0.6666666666666666, 'foo', (1, 2, 3), {'foo': 'bar'}]

o1 : PythonObject of class list

i2 : value pythonValue "[1, 2/3, 'foo', (1, 2, 3), {'foo' : 'bar'}]"

o2 = {1, .666667, foo, (1, 2, 3), HashTable{"foo" => bar}}

o2 : List

i3 : math = import "math"

o3 = <module 'math' (built-in)>

o3 : PythonObject of class module

i4 : math@@sqrt 2

o4 = 1.4142135623730951

o4 : PythonObject of class float
