node-python binding

Python bridge for nodejs! Call your python code from node!

Installation

npm install node-python

Usage

// python stuff
var python = require('node-python');
var os = python.import('os');

// nodejs stuff
var path = require('path');

assert(os.path.basename(os.getcwd()) == path.basename(process.cwd()))

You should now go have fun with that and make it brokes :)

Current status

What works:

• ✓ should convert javascript null to python NoneType
• ✓ should convert javascript undefined to python NoneType
• ✓ should convert javascript booleans to python booleans
• ✓ should convert javascript date to python date
• ✓ should convert javascript numbers to python floats
• ✓ should convert javascript arrays to python list
• ✓ should convert javascript objects to python dictionaries
• ✓ should convert javascript nested objects correctly
• ✓ should convert python dicts to javascript objects
• ✓ should convert python lists to javascript arrays
• ✓ should convert python strings to javascript strings
• ✓ should convert python boolean to javascript booleans
• ✓ should convert python numbers to javascript numbers
• ✓ should convert python dates to javascript dates
• ✓ should convert basic python dict to javascript object
• ✓ should convert basic python list to javascript array
• ✓ should return resulting value from python statement executed
• ✓ should return resulting value from python statement executed, converting to string with complex types
• ✓ should return object representing module imported, containing functions from imported module
• ✓ should throw a PythonError when importing a module that does not exist
• ✓ should throw an Error when importing a module that includes bad syntax

What to watch out for:

• Losing precision from Python's 64 bits Integer to Node's Number (we hande this by converting decimals to string and using bignumber.js to consume them. better solutions to come)
