Tcl package that provides access to a Python interpreter

TclPython

This package allows the execution of Python code from a Tcl interpreter.

The Python interpreter is accessed using the tclpython3 package:

package require tclpython3
set interpreter [python3::interp new]
$interpreter exec {print("Hello World")}
puts [$interpreter eval 3/2.0]
python3::interp delete $interpreter

Installing (Linux)

1. Install Dependencies

Debian

sudo apt install python3-dev tcl-dev

Red Hat

sudo yum install python3-devel tcl-devel

2. Determine install path

Tcl package installation paths vary depending on the platform.

Either pick one that looks right from the output of the following:

echo 'foreach p $auto_path {puts $p}' | tclsh

... or create a new location, and add it to the TCLLIBPATH environment variable:

export TCLLIBPATH=$TCLLIBPATH:/path/to/my/tcl/packages

3. Compile from source

make
make test
make install INSTALL_DIR=path/from/step/2
