Please look at the SWIG package if you want to embedd Prolog with Python. The interface should be activated by consulting the python lybrary. It immediately boots a Python image. To best define the interface, one has to address two opposite goals: - make it as similar to python as possible - make all embedded language interfaces (python, R, Java) as similar as possible. YAP supports the following translation between Prolog and Python: | *Prolog* | *Pyhon* | *Prolog Examples* | |:-------------:|:-------------:|---------------------------------------:| | Numbers | Numbers | 2.3 | | | 1545 | | | | Atom | Symbols | var | $Atom | | $var [ = var] | `string` | 'string' | \`hello\` | "string" | ' | "hello" | | | | Atom(...) | Symb(...) | f( a, b, named=v) | E.F(...) | E.F (...) | mod.f( a) [ = [mod\|f(a)] ] | Atom() | | f() [ = '()'(f) ] | Lists | Lists | [1,2,3] | t(....) | Tuples | t(1,2,3) to (1,2,3) | (..., ...) | | (1,2,3)[ = (1,(2,3))] | {.=., .=.} | Dict | {\`one\`: 1, \`two\`: 2, \`three\`: 3} */ /************************************************************************************************************ Python interface Data types are Python Prolog string atoms numbers numbers lists lists tuples t(...) generic objs __pointer__(Address) $var refers to the attribute __main__.var *************************************************************************************************************/ :- use_module(library(shlib)). :- use_module(library(lists)). :- use_module(library(apply_macros)). :- use_module(library(charsio)). :- dynamic python_mref_cache/2, python_obj_cache/2. := (P1,P2) :- !, := P1, := P2. := import( F ) :- !, python_import(F). := F :- python_is(F,_).
