gopy

We have hosted the application gopy in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about gopy:

This is an improved version that works with current versions of Go (e.g., 1.15 -- should work with any future version going forward), and uses unique int64 handles to interface with python, so that no pointers are interchanged, making everything safe for the more recent moving garbage collector. It also supports python modules having any number of Go packages, and generates a separate .py module file for each package, which link into a single common binding library. It has been tested extensively on reproducing complex Go code in large libraries -- most stuff "just works". For example, the GoGi GUI library is fully usable from python now (do make; make install in the python directory there, and try the examples/widgets/widgets.py demo). Callback methods from Go into Python now work: you can pass a python function to a Go function that has a function argument, and it will call the python function appropriately.

Features:

• Callback methods from Go into Python now work
• The first embedded struct field is used to establish a corresponding class inheritance in the Python class wrappers,
• Gopy now assumes that you are working with modules-based builds
• Currently using pybindgen to generate the low-level c-to-python bindings
• It also supports python modules having any number of Go packages
• The GoGi GUI library is fully usable from python now

Programming Language: Go.
