goPy

What is this?

Idiomatic Python bindings for Google Go

What does that mean?

Instead of simply duplicating the Python C API in Go, this is an attempt to provide the Python API in a form that fits with writing normal Go code.

This means that PyFoo_XXX(foo, ...) is foo.XXX(...), and PyFoo_Check(obj) is foo, ok := obj.(*Foo) to give a couple of examples.

What versions of Python are supported?

This codebase only supports a single version of Python at a time, each version on a separate branch.

See the specific branches for more details:

• Python 2.6 (broken)
• Python 2.6 (broken)
• Python 3.11
